The document outlines the structure and requirements for a group project in COMM 460, involving social media and mobile technologies. It emphasizes the importance of diverse skills within each group, scheduling compatibility, and equal contribution from all members for grading purposes. Additionally, it includes a questionnaire to help determine group composition and individual experiences in social media.

1. COMM 460
Social Media & Mobile Technologies in Strategic
Communications
Fall 2013
Each group will have four students (for a total of six groups in the class). The purpose of this
questionnaire is to make sure there are at least one student that fits into one of these categories per
group and a range in experience working in social media as well. The goal is not to have a group of all
leaders, all writers, one group having all social media experts, etc.
Also, it is key to know the schedule for each student as well to make sure each group is compatible to
meet at arranged times. There will be a few days this semester where groups will be able to meet during
class time.
When you are assigned to your group, you will need to 1) get everyone’s contact information (email, cell
phone, Twitter handle, etc) 2) start assigning roles and duties for each member and 3) set up a consistent
meeting schedule for your group regarding this project.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of each member of the group to contribute equally to the project. You will
be graded as a group, but there will be individual grades assigned as well based on peer evaluations. More
details will be discussed in the Social Media Campaign Proposal Assignment.
Make sure to address the following questions. This will be used to determine your group members and
client.
