How to write a Credits Page
The purpose of the "credits" page is to acknowledge the people who were
involved in the creation of the work product. The format of the page
is very simple; list each individual involved in the document production
and give a concise description of their role or contribution.
Also, include your team name at the top (logo optional).
The "credits" page of a document is important from the standpoint
of your individual grade in the course.
If it isn't clear to the instructor what portion of the work product
you created, you won't earn credit for them.
The document will be graded by awarding
a score to each individual based on the work that he or she contributed.
Guidelines
-
Each component of the document must be credited to one and only one person.
Two people may not take credit for the same item.
-
The entire team should write the credits page together. There should
be consensus that the credits page reflects how grades should be distributed.
Ideally this should take place during the lab meeting before the document
is due. That way if there is any controversy or dispute over who
should get credit for what, the instructor is available to help mediate
the discussion.
