2. In the week 9 tutorial, students will be placed in groups of 4-5. The group will have 30minsto discuss the various solutions put forward by each individual group member and decide which oneto adopt. This is the only part of the task where students work together on the assignment.
3. Each individual student submits areport describing their group's decision-making process. In the report, students are to explicitly identify and discuss:
a. The solution that they themselves developed and presentedto the group.
b. The solutions suggested by other group members.
c. How the group came to its decision (i.e. how they selected one particular solution).
d. How the characteristics of the group influenced the level of collaboration and/or conflict among the group members.
e. Recommendations for improving the decision-making process if a similar task were to be undertaken in the future.
