What is a Group Assignment Contract?

A group assignment contract simply called a group agreement or group contract is a written document that a particular group makes to officialize the expectations of group members. The contract can increase productivity and a good working experience for every member since they already know their roles and the tasks they need to do and accomplish and at the same time, respect other members and their roles as well.

Details to Include in a Group Assignment Contract

Making a group assignment contract may vary to what type of group you have, what activities you’re assigned to do, what organization you belong to, and what terms and conditions you agree to comply with. However, the details below should be present in your contract to ensure that it is written well and it contains all important details for your group members to agree on and use as a basis on how they will function well in the group.

• All group members’ names and their contact information
• Expectations: Also known as ground rules, these should be included to help members prepare themselves for the group work. You can include attendance, communication, meetings, behavior, tasks, and responsibilities to include in the ground rules. You can aim around five to seven ground rules.
• Assignment: This is now where you will assign specific tasks, roles, and responsibilities to every member that they are expected to follow and accomplish on a certain due date. If you’re not sure how to assign the tasks, you can itemize them first depending on which priority level they have and provide a space for each group member to volunteer to do the tasks.
• Problem resolution: Outline a specific process for dealing with unmet expectations or other concerns that might arise within the group. Make sure this process will deescalate the problem.
• Feedback: Provide a method on how each member will provide peer feedback while working throughout the tasks or projects you are all working on so any concerns or problems will be addressed before you complete any responsibilities you have. You can also ask the group members to present progress reports to know any updates of each member that has completed or working on.
• Signature line: Provide lines where each group member can sign indicating their agreement to the contract.

FAQs

Once you’re done writing the contract, make sure to discuss it with your group members first before you finalize it. Welcome their questions and recommendations for the contract and write them down so you can revise them later.
