How collectively or independently should we work?
Working independently then coming together to compare and share.
How will we set goals and track our progress against them?
Tracking: Checking upon each other. Updating on Facebook. Touch base frequently and at each stage of the project. Evaluate how we are going through feedback from client, lecturers, and peers.

Whenever necessary. Everyone is expected to check the Facebook group regularly.
If someone is not going to be able to attend a meeting or class they must let another team member know.
How will decisions be made?
Group discussions.
How will we handle disagreements or differences of opinion?
Find a middle ground. Discuss. Vote if not able to come to an agreement.
