I'm going to ask my groupmate about what the plan for our research paper was
Why? Did you forget or something?
I think he might be hoping to change our plan.
It's great that you want to check in with your group mate, just make sure that you're not putting too much work on him. When you have a group activity, it's important that the work is divided equally between everyone in the group. If one person is given too much work, then it's not fair to that person and the other people will miss out on a learning opportunity.
It's not a big deal, everyone's going to put in the same amount of labor. I just want to see his idea of what we should write about.
Thats cool, maybe you guys can do a brainstorm to come up with the topic. I think it would also be good to check in frequently to keep up on the progress of the entire group.
