Reach out to your group classmate once the group is assigned in week 4 I think. I started a discord and send an invite to my classmate by getting their email on the class list. I also create a google document and shared it with the group so we can all contribute easily at one location. This work out well for my group. Best to setup a deadline along with discussion who will do what part for project 4 and 5.

Nice to read up on to get an idea.

Professor Bucelato graded at his own pace, I didn’t receive grades for Projects 1 through 3 until around weeks 4 or 5. I reached out multiple times via email, IM, and DM but received no response. It wasn’t until I raised the issue in the course discussion forum that I finally got my grades. After that, grades were entered in a more timely manner.

Be prepare to wait for a grade if you don't bring it up in the discussion for everyone to see and agree.
