Groups

Groups are chosen by lot, keeping together students who come to the same problem session. Each group should select a group leader, who will be the default spokesperson for the group. However, different group members should be assigned primary responsibility for different tasks, and individual grades will be determined in part by individual contributions, as detailed below. Group members will decide how to allocate responsibilities; any difficulties should be resolved within the group.
