This individual assignment is worth 10% of your course grade. It is in place of the final exam.

For this assignment, you will serve as a judge in the semi-finals of the “Comm 305 Best Team Project” competition. There are three semi-finalists from Steffie’s section (Teams #1-8) and three from Danielle’s section (Teams #9-16).

As a judge, you will watch three teams’ videos (team project & critique), write a team review, and select the best with a rationale.
