Essay

You've been assigned a group project with a few of your classmates. You've met for the first time to decide what you're doing, how you'll go about doing it, and who's doing what. You tell your team that you'll email everyone the notes from the meeting so they can reply and confirm they agree to the plan. One of the classmates objects, saying they are adults and they will do what they promised. How would you explain to them, with one example of the teamwork going awry, why a performance contract is useful?
