LOG206 Transport Management and Technology Group Based Assignment Questions January 2025 | SUSS

LOG206 Group-Based Assignment 

This assignment is worth 20% of the final mark for LOG206 Transport Management and Technology. 

This is a group-based assignment. You should form a group of 4 members from your seminar group. Each group is required to upload a single report via your respective seminar group site in Canvas. Please elect a group leader. The responsibility of the group leader is to upload the report on behalf of the group.  It is important for each group member to contribute substantially to the final submitted work. All group members are equally responsible for the entire submitted assignment. If you feel that the work distribution is inequitable to either yourself or your group mates, please highlight this to your instructor as soon as possible. Your instructor will then investigate and decide on any action that needs to be taken. 

All group members don't need to be awarded the same mark.
