Meeting Minutes

...

Each team is expected to post meeting minutes or a weekly progress report. This posting should follow the guidelines given below, which is easy to do by using the "AguaClara Meeting Minutes" template available on the wiki. Once meeting minutes are posted in the correct location on your team's wiki page, you must go to the completed assignments page and paste the web address to your completed minutes.

Grading

Meeting minutes are graded solely based on completion. If meeting minutes are posted to the wiki and linked to the completed assignments page on time, then team members receive full credit. Half credit is awarded for any late minutes.

Grading for meeting minutes is not based on what the team has accomplished during the week, as it is understood that some weeks are more productive than others.

Structuring Meeting Minutes

(The following information was borrowed the MAE website that is a great website with resources for student teams and project groups)

• Accomplishments
  A summary of major work completed since last meeting based on last meeting's identified outcomes/issues
• Outcomes
  A summary of resolutions based on what was accomplished.
  New directions and ideas that result from these resolutions.
• Metrics
  Quantitative and qualitative results from accomplishments and outcomes.
  Potential metrics for unresolved issues.
• Issues
  Difficult and unresolved issues
  Plans for action

With this structure, you can quickly identify what was done, what results from what was done, what basis has been used to evaluate what was done, and what issues remain to be done. The Accomplishments and Metrics sections help structure subsequent Outcomes and Issues sections. These charts can be quickly presented to all members of the team and help build common understanding of team production as well as help team leaders determine progress and identify issues that are not adequately being resolved.

Also if you are documenting specific meetings the team members present should be listed.

should determine the best way for them to record minutes and experimental results. Minutes are useful for recording details that might otherwise be lost and for storing information that could potentially be useful for future team members. They are also useful for recording information that is not ready to put on the wiki yet. Minutes need not be submitted, but it is expected that each team uses them to stay organized.
