It should include your reflections on your experience in the course (in and out of class). Suggestions for content are given below, but you are not limited to these topics.<\/p>\n \n- Group process in general (housekeeping).<\/strong> What meeting times have you chosen for group work? Do you prefer supervised group work or meeting on your own? How have you divided up tasks to be done within the group? How were these decisions made? What software are you each working on and how do you plan to produce the final proposal?<\/li>\n
- Group decision-making in specific.<\/strong> Describe group brainstorming sessions. What ideas emerged? What option was decided upon? How did the group reach that decision? What ideas didn’t work out and why?<\/li>\n
- Progress on weekly assignments and research project<\/strong>. What has been completed? What is still being worked on? What is your time line for completing upcoming tasks? Are you comfortable with your progress?<\/li>\n
- Practical application.<\/strong> Describe how you might take skills from this course and put them to use in your work (real or hypothetical). What obstacles might you encounter? How might you approach those problems?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The final journal will be in the form of a letter to next year\u2019s students, and should include advice and experience from the entire course.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nJournal<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nDeadline<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nDay of Week<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\nTime<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| Journal 1*<\/td>\n | 20-Feb<\/td>\n | Thursday<\/td>\n | 6:00 PM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Journal 2*<\/td>\n | 26-Mar<\/td>\n | Thursday<\/td>\n | 6:00 PM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Journal 3*<\/td>\n | 30-Apr<\/td>\n | Thursday<\/td>\n | 6:00 PM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nGroup Charter and Evaluation<\/strong><\/h2>\nEach group will develop a charter and evaluation form outside of class.
