Next Tuesday, 2/23, we will have our first round of Group Conferences. Each group will meet with me for 30 minutes to discuss their progress on the proposal and team agreement. The proposal and team agreement don’t need to be finished before Tuesday, (remember, they are due by the end of day next Friday, 2/26). However, it’s a good idea to discuss these tasks with your group before meeting with me. You should also think about recording your ideas and saving them to a shared space so that all group members have access. During the meeting, I will clarify any questions you have; give feedback on any ideas you present; make suggestions about how to develop your ideas; etc.
Please DO NOT show up for the meeting with nothing to discuss. Imagine that I am your supervisor and this is a project you’ve been assigned for work/internship. Coming to a team meeting with nothing to add is never a good way to leave a positive impression on your colleagues.
You can find the conference schedule below. You only need to log in to Zoom during your team’s 30 minutes block. The rest of the day is yours to do whatever you need.
Group Conference Schedule
Group 1: 2:30 – 3:00 PM
Group 2: 3:00 – 3:30 PM
Group 3: 3:30 – 4:00 PM
Group 4: 4:00 – 4:30 PM
If your team is having trouble getting started with this task, a good idea is to simply write whatever comes to your mind so that we can look for ideas that would be manageable for this project. Think about the topic your group has chosen and then write about why this topic is interesting for each of you. What do you hope to learn researching this topic? If you have any questions before we meet, feel free to leave a comment below.
