must  be  confident  and  good  at  that  role  (do  not  choose  a  group  with  your  mate  and  get 
stuck  with  production  jobs  you are not good at – your marking teacher will decide if you can 
work with in that pair based on your expertise)

excuse)

● You must ​ALL​ be at the edit of the production  
● In  order  to  obtain  an  INDIVIDUAL  grade  you  must  ​log  ​EVERYDAY with what ​you did in 
that  team  and  what  your  role  was  for  that day. This also is marked after each section 
and not at the end.  
● You must all​ individually​ evaluate  
● You  must  ​both  ​be  part  of  the  pitch  and  presentation  process  (this  can  be  a  group 
piece)  
● Evidence of communication and meetings between you must also be uploaded

will also keep a record of how you performed. 

 
Independent work 
You  are  allowed  /  recommended  to  ask  fellow  peers  on  the  course  to  help  you  as  they  will
