Deer Cardinal,
I’m working on a group project that will span the whole semester. All the groupmates’ schedules are pretty different, and the best time for everyone else to meet up is when I’m at work. How should I communicate with my group members outside of class?

Do you have your group members’ email addresses? It’s probably best to email them progress reports. Multiple times a day. Additionally, start a Google document where you can log hourly updates. You can also connect via social media. Make a Facebook group and/or start a project hashtag. If you’re more of a face-to-face person, consider Skyping in while at work. You’ll never be disconnected from the project! It will become your life!
The point of a group project is to improve your ability to work with others. Your group members will love that you for afford them extra chances to refine this skill.
