R+P Post 1: How we intend to work as a group

Our group is called Group 3, and it is comprised of myself, Jack Edmondson, and Sayo Ajoje. If you ever need to refresh your memory of this information, please refer to the sidebar on the right.

This is Group 3- we appear in the same order as the names in the above text, left to right. Click to enlarge.

We intend to split the work between us as evenly possible, as we believe that is the most efficient and fairest group dynamic possible. However, if one of us is particularly good at a certain task, then they will take priority while we are working on that task. Hopefully this will result in a fair work balance but the highest possible quality work.

Outside of lessons and the meetings we organise throughout the week, our main channel of communication is a shared 'WhatsApp' group, where each of us can raise concerns, ask questions, suggest ideas and so on. So far it has been a useful tool for figuring things out before physically meeting to discuss, such as confirming the times of said meetings or deciding what research to do in preparation for the session. If we need alternate forms of communication, we have each other's phone numbers and we are all friends on Facebook- thus calling, texting, and Facebook Messenger are also viable options.

An example of a conversation we had on our WhatsApp group. As you can see from the text timestamps, this is out of school time, but we were able to discuss and make decisions before our next session. Sayo is the unmarked white box at the top, Jack's boxes are labelled, and I am the green box. Click to enlarge.
