As you work in a collaborative team setting, designate a different member to take minutes for each meeting.

As your instructor directs, your minutes should include:

■ Name of the team holding the meeting.

■ Members who were present.

■ Members who were absent.

■ Place, time, and date of meeting.

■ Work accomplished, and who did it, during the meeting.

■ Actions that need to be completed, the person responsible, and the due date.
■ Decisions made during the meeting.
■ New issues raised at the meeting but not resolved should be recorded for future meetings.
■ Signature of acting secretary.
Remember to keep your minutes brief and to the point.
When the minutes are complete, e-mail them to your fellow team members and cc: them to your instructor.
