Create a new syllabus as a child of syllabi. Work out a general pattern for it by reviewing past syllabi (Fall 2011 Syllabus can be used as a template if you want). Try to have at least one day per week available for team work. The number of days devoted to teach-ins will be dependent on the number of active teams in a given semester. When scheduling teach-ins, be sure to keep in mind how many people are on each team and the time limit associated (i.e. 5 min per person plus a 5 minute introduction). Additionally, try to have old teams with experienced members present first. A new team or a team with entirely new people will likely not have as much material to present in the beginning of the semester. The number of speakers or other activities is up to you.

Sit down with Monroe and discuss which teams you plan on having active this semester. Some times we put certain projects on hold in favor of emphasizing others and it is good for planning teams if you know before classes start approximately which teams you want to run. This should be done after you have the enrollment total for the class- be sure to ask Monroe for the course roster that he gets from the department.
