Norms refer to guidelines or expectations for behavior within a group. By establishing positive and productive norms, the team can set expectations for all members to contribute and work together effectively. This can also help address the issue of "Man" not feeling the course is important, as the team can establish a norm of valuing everyone's contribution and the importance of the project. Norms can encourage accountability and ensure that all team members are working towards the same goals and expectations.
