**Note to those working in teams.

If you choose to work in a team I remind you to select a team leader. I will ask you who the team leader is in your team and that will be my point of contact. So when I have a question for your team I will be asking to speak to your team leader.

The final grade is shared among the team. So if you have a slacker, as a team member and they do no work, they get the same grade as you do for doing all of the work. Remember this when picking your teams. If you have a team member that refuses to work, see me early so that I can speak to them.
