FAQ

Can I report a teammate who isn't contributing?

Yes. Most Canadian professors expect documentation (emails, missed meetings) and will adjust individual grades when contributions are uneven.

What's the best tool for group project coordination?

Google Docs + a shared chat (Discord, WhatsApp, or Slack). Notion is excellent for documentation-heavy projects.

How do I divide a group project fairly?

Split by task, not by section. One person does research, another drafting, another editing — this way every member touches every part.
