PART 3 · LESSON 27 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

Credit for everyone

Ruth reads Ana's report and asks that it say who did what, and Ana learns to separate what was her responsibility from what was a joint effort. Say your report says I did the interviews who else did, Emma sat in on all of them Priya brought three neighbors, so say that, I was responsible for the questions and notes, and the rest, the rest was a joint effort involving Emma Priya Nina and Sam, better does that diminish you, it makes the report truthful, and truthful is what people trust, so I'll put the names on the first page.
