Your answer to each question should be around 500 words in length and be properly formatted. You can use headings in answers or other formats to structure your responses. Where you use outside sources, you should use APA referencing.
Please include student ID number, course and section number. Also, number your pages.
Submit the assignment as a Word attachment no later than the deadline posted on the course site in the assignment schedule. Any assignment not submitted by the time listed above will be graded as ‘0’ unless a valid and relevant medical certificate is presented which explains the failure to meet the deadline. If you have other conflicts which might impact on your ability to meet the deadline, contact me as soon as possible.
1. Consider a group situation in which you have worked. To what extent did the group rely on the technical skills of the group members vs. their interpersonal skills? Which skills seemed most important in helping the group function well?
