conclusion you will logically score higher

him/her by suggesting other words/phrases/ideas.

Its ok if
1. all of you CANT AGREE on a single point.- you should be able to decide on a single point
within 10 mins of discussing, but if you dont
there is no penalty.
2. your group doesnt have a conclusion.
- No penalty but if you manage to do a
conclusion you will logically score higher
because your discussion is more structured.

DISCUSS ACTIVELY 10 MINS!!!!!
