Problem:

We have all been on class project teams where one or more members have not contributed. Professor G encourages teams to learn to resolve such issues on their own using material from the course. This provides each team with significant power and can even result in actions such as discharging a person from the team. However, teams must follow the steps in a fair and just disciplinary process. Walk through the below to develop disciplinary guidelines for a team project you are currently on or one you might be on in the future.

1a Would any form of conduct be so severe that your team could justify immediately expelling the person from the team instead of going through the progressive steps of increasing severity?

1b If you were to expel someone from your team, how would you inform her or him? How might he or she react?

1c How would you ensure your discipline process is fair and just so that your professor would stand behind, instead of overrule, your teams disciplinary actions?
