online with the teammates and instructors:

been established and must keep communicating.

ideas useful or interesting. If disagree with some aspect of the comment, do
so in the respectful and in a considerate way.
-
If you do not understand some of the aspect of teammate’s
submission or the comment, ask for the clarification.

If the comments from the online teammates bring out the
strong reactions from you, give some time yourself to consider their point
of views before giving any response.

The Team bonds will be strengthened when the team leader
arranges to get a team members together periodically in the person. If not

unrelated to work periodically.

task's
