For this team project, students will be assigned by faculty into teams of three to five individuals depending upon class size. 2. Teams will receive a project grade based on assessment by the project rubric, which will then be applied to each individual’s grade for the project minus points for lack of participation in the development or presentation of the project. 3. The team leader will make all dropbox submissions for the course so that the a. TURNITIN similarity index will not pickup inadvertent self?plagiarism from another team member’s submission b. Course faculty will have only one submission to review and grade. 4. Use Microsoft PowerPoint 2007, 2010 or higher for systems’ compatibility.
