Week 2 To-Do’s
Lecture and reading
Attend the lecture to learn about this week’s topics and obtain extra information from this week’s reading list (short articles/videos to read/watch). More details are available on the Schedule page.
Find a team!
Find students to join your team, or find a team to join. You will be given time to form teams in class. Conduct your first team meeting (say Hi!). With your team, develop a team contract by answering a set of questions about how your team will function this term. This is very important for maintaining a good team culture and working together effectively. Designate one person from the group to submit the finalized team information using the Project Team Information form. More details and links are available on the Information page under Deliverable 1b.
Check your design document
Each team must maintain a document of their design process of the project by updating the document weekly. An online document will be created and shared with all your team members, as well as TAs and the instructor. You will expect the design document shared to you in early next week, or as soon as you form a team. Check your email inbox! More details are available on the Information page under Deliverable 2a.
Think about your project
It is never too early to think about what you want to do for your project. After forming a team, you can get together to brainstorm about interesting challenges or problems to solve throughout the term. Check the Project page for requirements.
