Our ECE 110 lab group agrees to do our best to support each other throughout the semester,
which will include:
● Being mindful and respectful of group member commitments and responsibilities outside
of ECE 110
● Encouraging open communication about challenges that group members are facing, both
in and out of ECE 110
● Giving group members the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to explain themselves
when something goes wrong and to resist jumping to judgement
Team Purpose: Why does the team exist? What necessitates its formation and what advantages does
having a team bring to the table? It may be worth stating what the purpose of the team is not to help
avoid abuses.
Team Goals: If the team is successful in its purpose, what physical artifacts will attest to this?
Individual promise regarding professional growth of self: What promise do you make to yourself
regarding self-improvement? What might people say about your ability to communicate? Seek and listen
to alternate opinions and ideas? Ability to create value? Add a statement from each teammate.
Promise regarding professional growth of teammates: Why should you be responsible in aiding the
professional growth of your teammates? What can you do to help them meet their goals? Think about
what might make this part of the contract “uncomfortable” and list it here to make it a mandate!
Expectations (ground rules) for each member: Try to list six or more minimum expectations. Consider
aspects such as preparation, participation, feedback, responsiveness, etc. Try to explicitly list anything
that could potentially turn into a problem. Should video be mandatory for meetings? Find ways to
encourage everyone to communicate (this may also fall under “tasks”).
Roles: Do you see this team performing well because everyone learns the same and contributes equally?
Are there certain aspects that some teammates excel at that other abhor? Can tasks or exercises be
spread among individuals to maximize readiness for the final project?
