Project Personnel (Burton)

Project Personnel (HU3910 with Prof. Burton)

1. How to Sign Up for a Project Team

Assuming you've already registered for HU3910:

• Decide on a 1) project from this page, and 2) a specific task as defined on that project's page
• Click here to add your name to one of the projects on the Project Personnel page. If you are torn between a few projects, choose one that has fewer names beneath it.
  • Put your name in the Name field for now, and, later on after you've met with your team and discussed tasks, put your name in the Task field.

2. What to Do After You Sign Up

• Get to know your teammates
  • What is their favorite food?
  • What is their favorite movie?
  • How do they feel about Taylor Swift?
• Decide on a 'regular weekly meeting time outside of class time to discuss weekly goals and objectives
  • If you're the only "morning person" in a group of "night owls", choose a different project--seriously
• Meet once a week (or twice a week if necessary) to discuss the division of labor of tasks, otherwise work independently and work hard. I'm expecting about 15 - 17 hours of work each week for each team member.

3. Prepare for Check-up Meetings

There will be regular "check-up" meetings between me and each project group during class-time throughout the term. To prepare for this:

• Choose one member of the team to give me the update during the meeting
  • Discuss accomplishments during the prior week
  • Discuss any pitfalls or questions you have
  • Discuss goals and the division of labor for each group member for the coming week
• Choose one member of the team to take minutes on what was discussed during the meeting
  • When the meeting concludes, upload the minutes per the assignments listed on Canvas
• Choose one member of the team to upload a brief two or three sentence summary of the accomplishments and pitfalls of the prior week to the course Canvas site
