After a disagreement with a teammate, a student leaves the project group chat without saying why, though they continue to complete their assigned work. How appropriate is this action?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Inappropriate, though not disastrous
- Step 1: Continuing to do the work is responsible, but leaving the chat silently cuts off communication. Step 2. The student should tell the group or the teammate why, or ask the tutor for help with the disagreement. Answer: Inappropriate, though not disastrous. Why not the others: It is not very inappropriate because the work is still done, and it is not appropriate because the team cannot easily reach the student.
