Meeting Minutes / Weekly Progress Reports

Each team is expected to complete their Meeting Minutes google excel sheet each week. Each member will fill out their name and what they did that week. Sign in to the AguaClara google account to complete this ( username and password ). The documents are already there, so just add to them.

Grading

Meeting minutes are graded solely based on completion. Half credit is awarded for any late minutes. We do look at individual contributions when determining final grades, however.

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 who were present should be listed.
