- Setting Norms
- Making Collective Decisions
- Behaving and Responding Cycles
- Reduction in Behaviors
- Varying Outputs
- Conflict
- Positive Aspects
In the second part, several bigger picture issues and suggestions are presented. These are:

- Knowing Where You Need to Grow
- Documenting Your Experiences and Growth
- Start Positively
- Take Responsibility for Your Actions
- Embracing Diversity
- Seeking Support
After reading the guide, students will have a better understanding of what lies ahead with group assignments and how they can start preparing for them.
