The randomly selected groups are given below.
Contact the other members of your group as soon as possible! Their email addresses are included.
We strongly suggest doing some project planning (a schedule), and you must use a brainstorming session initially with the whole group. During brainstorming the whole group suggests ideas out loud that may contribute towards the design of the project. Every idea is a good idea, as "strange" ideas might trigger a slew of good new ones from other people. The ideas are recorded, and organized. Details are in the reading linked to below.
Divide up the project into subtasks (perhaps do this every week?) and assign them to subgroups. Take advantage of the strengths of every member.
Communicate via email, and perhaps have a webpage to keep track of the status. Make sure you capture your "rationale" as you make design decisions during the project. Near the end of the project make overhead slides for the class presentation. Work out how the report is to be written and produced. It too needs pictures: especially of the final "sentence".
If one of the group is not able/willing to cooperate then find a way to deal with it such that you and they still get work done. Talk about the problems that arise in the group, as well as with the project. Everyone is responsible for doing their portion of the project: you all decide what portion.
Note the method for group evaluation of group members.
There may be additions/deletions to groups as we discover who is still enrolled in the course.
If you have not been assigned to a group please send email immediately to cs3041-staff at cs telling us that you are still enrolled in the course.
