Team 4 : Decision Making
• We will take a vote amongst the group in order to make
decisions which influence the project.
• If teams cannot make effective decisions according to their
agreed upon guideline, they may appeal to their Lab Assistant
and upwards to the Prof/Lect
• The Prof/Lect has the final say on any team decisions.
