<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> **Forward:**  <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> This contract is a binding document and governs the group until the assigned project deadlines. If the group separates, or a member is fired, the basic contract laws remain intact for both parties. However, being fired may cause work responsibilities to shift.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> **Article I: Absence Policy** <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> If a group member is absent, the leader or another member in the group will send the absent member their missed work through email. All missed work must be completed at home the same day of the missed class.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> **Article II: Work Policy**  <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> b.  <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">  <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> If a group member commits plagiarism, they are solely responsible and incur the punishment on their own.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> c. To reduce the amount of time the group may need to work outside of class on this project, each group member commits to complete focus on this problem while in class. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> **Article III: Leadership**

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> a. At the beginning of the project, a leader will be voted upon democratically. If a group member is absent at the time of voting, they waive their right to participate in voting. The person who wins the most votes becomes the leader. If there is an unclear outcome (same number of votes for different people), the group will have no leader until one can be chosen by a revote.


 * 1)  <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> By being elected leader, the person must perform the following duties:


 * 1)  <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> Organize group meetings.
 * 2)   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> Create and enforce a group agenda to govern group progress. This must be updated daily showing what each student is working on and shared with the group and Mr. Nilsen via the Wikispace your group creates.
 * 3)  <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> Organize any out of school project efforts.
 * 4)   <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> Provide communication between group members in order to help individuals work towards the project goal.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> If they fail to perform these duties, or another person is also carrying them out, a revote may be taken to determine whether to obtain a new leader.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> c. If a leader fulfills his or her duties, they will receive five extra credit leadership points at the end of the projects. The current group leader will receive these points, regardless of how long they lead the group. If no leader has been assigned, a majority vote will decide who receives the leadership points.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> **Article IV: Work Ethics**


 * 1)  <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> If a group member does not complete work they were assigned, a warning will be given the first time and second time. If work is incomplete a third time, the member will be fired from the group.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> b.  <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">  At the end of the projects, ‘hard workers’ can be designated by means of a democratic vote. Points (up to two points per group member) can be given from one group member to another. At least three group members must agree. The group’s decision must be recorded.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> **Article V: Member Dismissal** <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> If work is incomplete for three times, a member will be dismissed A group member will be warned twice.
