Make sure you are responsive and communicative. Make responses constructive, yet respectful. Build each other up and work for the benefit of the group. Attend class and scheduled meetings. Put forth your best work and try to see things from other people’s points of view. Discuss issues as soon as possible and work together to find a solution. No questions are stupid questions. Don’t degrade your own work. Ask for everyone’s input. Stay focused and productive.
