It is to be emphasised that individuals should predominantly accept areas with an understanding that in addition to individual responsibilities, the group is responsible overall for the entire project. The assessment requires that the Individual understand and details how they have contributed to all other areas. Initially, taking on these roles will allow individuals to understand the responsibilities involved with forming a company and allow each other to assess each others contribution.

It should be notes that if students do not assign themselves to a group will be allocated to groups on an alphabetical basis.
