This week you will be submitting your artefact, the next step is for your group to attend the Q &A session

• The Q & A session should take around 10-15 minutes.
• Each of you will be asked 1-2 questions.
• Questions will be on either the segment you contributed too, or your general contribution to their team’s effort.
• The contribution mark is not just gauged by the Q &A session, team meeting notes and other evidence will also be used.
• The Q & A session is importan because it is an opportunity for you to evidence how effectively you have worked team.
