1. Decide who will form a group. Seek mutual consent.
2. ONE member of your intended homework group logs into Blackboard and creates a new Blackboard group (refer part 2 for more details on how to create groups), giving it an identifying name. The group name should be of the form:
• lastname1-lastname2, if your group size is 2; OR
• lastname1-lastname2-lastname3, if your group size is 3.
• and names should be in alphabetical order
3. When done, let your partner(s) know via email. They will then be able to join this Blackboard group, via the group name.
4. When created, any member of the group can submit anything to Blackboard, in the name of the group. 
• As usual, we will use the last submission (by any group member) before the submission deadline.  If there are errors in the code, all group members will suffer and we won't hunt down previous submissions hoping one of those will work.
