Case Studies on Teamwork and Ethics

You are working on a group project with 3 classmates. It’s due in 5 days. Everyone agreed to finish their parts early, but one member, Riya, has not submitted anything. When you ask her, she says she’s been feeling unwell and is having trouble at home. The other two members are upset and suggest removing her from the group.

• Tell the teacher to remove Riya

• Ask Riya privately if she needs help

• Finish the work without her

• Complain about her in the group chat
