Shared work needs a handover
Four students are preparing a fictional survey report. Mei writes questions, Arun collects responses, Chen checks totals and Wei writes the findings. Wei cannot use the findings until the checked totals arrive. This dependence makes ownership and handover times matter.
A team works towards a shared result with coordinated contributions. Four names on a file do not show that the work was coordinated. Check who supplies what, who checks it and what happens if an input is late. Actual assessment and collaboration rules come from the course brief.
A model helps describe a situation
Forming 组建期 describes getting oriented. Storming 磨合期 describes conflict over work or relationships. Norming 规范期 describes establishing shared practices. Performing 执行期 describes coordinated work towards the task.
These are stages in Tuckman's proposed model, not a timetable that every team must follow. Use the model to discuss an observed need. Do not invent conflict to reach a stage or conclude that a quiet meeting means nobody examined the plan. Original model.
Put these four labels in the order proposed by Tuckman's model. · 按照塔克曼模型提出的顺序排列这四个标签。
This is the proposed model sequence. It does not establish that every team follows it or that visible conflict is necessary for a well-examined plan. · 这是提议的模型序列。它不能证明每个团队都遵循此流程，也不能证明经过深思熟虑的计划必然需要可见的冲突。
Give a task an owner and a check
Team roles 团队角色 describe contributions such as generating ideas, recording decisions, checking evidence and coordinating handovers. People can share or change roles; these are not permanent personality types.
If nobody owns the final check, the report may be submitted with unchecked totals. Agree that Chen checks totals by Tuesday 16:00 and Wei confirms receipt before drafting. A named owner helps, but the group must still review the result and arrange a backup if needed.
The team has assigned idea generation, but nobody owns the final check. Which action directly addresses that gap? · 团队已分配创意生成任务，但无人负责最终核查。哪项行动直接弥补这一空缺？
Assigning the missing check addresses the task gap. A role label does not establish completion or predict inevitable failure. · 分配缺失的核查职责可解决任务缺口。仅凭角色标签不能证明任务已完成或注定失败。
A contract must be usable
A fictional team agreement. Meet Tuesday 16:00 in room 204; confirm availability first. Record decisions and the reason. Aim for agreement; if unresolved, ask the teacher about the decision rule. Each task has an owner, a check and an internal handover time before submission. Report a likely delay as soon as it is known. Follow the course process for unresolved missing work.
The agreement gives the team something to compare with events. It can be revised when circumstances change. An early agreement helps; a later disagreement does not make agreement impossible.
What belongs in a team contract written in week one? Choose all that apply. · 第一周写的团队契约里该有什么?选出所有正确项。
These support coordination. Confirm availability, name owners and checks, and revise arrangements when needed. · 这些支持协调工作。确认可用性，明确负责人和核查点，并在必要时修订安排。
Describe leadership without declaring a winner
Autocratic 专断型 leadership concentrates decisions in the leader. Democratic 民主型 leadership involves members in decisions. Laissez-faire 放任型 leadership gives members substantial freedom.
The labels describe arrangements, not automatic recommendations. A short deadline does not by itself justify one person overriding task rules. Consider who has the information, safety and permissions, member availability and how the result will be checked. Delegated work still needs a clear result and review point.
Match each leadership label to its defining decision arrangement. · 将每种领导风格标签与其定义性的决策安排相匹配。
These definitions do not prescribe the best arrangement. Consider information, permissions, safety and how the result will be checked. · 这些定义并未规定最佳安排。应考虑信息、权限、安全性以及如何检查结果。
Raise the work problem precisely
Chen's checked totals were due Tuesday 16:00. At 16:30 they have not arrived, so Wei cannot start the findings. The reason is unknown.
A useful message is: “The checked totals were due at 16:00 and the findings depend on them. What is ready, and when can we receive the checked file?” It names an event, a consequence and a request. Calling Chen lazy supplies no evidence and does not repair the handover. Record any agreed change and follow the course escalation process if the deadline remains at risk.
A teammate has missed two deadlines. Write one sentence raising it that stays on the task. · 一位队友两次误期。写一句话提出这件事,并且只针对任务本身。
Fact, effect, request. "The survey was due Monday and the analysis cannot start — what can we move so it lands by Thursday?" · 事实、影响、请求。“调查应于周一完成，分析无法开始——我们移动什么能让它在周四落地？”
Coordinate tasks, then check actual results. Record owners, dependencies, handovers and quality checks. Use a stage or leadership label to describe the situation, then explain the evidence. A contract or label alone does not prove that the team completed accurate work.
