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, which 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, email them to your fellow team members and copy them to your instructor.
