Detailed tasks list
Assignment
Generate a wiki page of goals that your team aims to accomplish this semester, and delegate tasks within that list. You will probably want to work off of the list of challenges already created, although it is not necessary. This needs to be a comprehensive and detailed plan, and it needs to show what projects (big or small) the team plans to take on.
Changes to the list during the semester should be addressed in weekly meeting minutes. Together the detailed task list and the meeting minutes should be detailed enough to give Monroe a good idea of who's working on what.
Specific Guidelines for Research Teams
A search for relavent published material should be done in an effort to guide current research proposals.
Research teams will also be expected to emphasize how they will analyze and use the data that is gathered from experiments.
Grading
The detailed task lists will be turned in as a first draft, undergo a brief editing process with Monroe, and then resubmit their final task lists on the wiki. This will be their subteam semester goals, which is worth 5% of each member's final grade. For full credit it is expected that the first draft is thoughtful and adheres to all of the guidelines above, as well as being properly formatted as per below. The second draft is meant for incorporating any suggestions for other tasks that Monroe considers pertinent.
Note: Ignore this page in Fall 2009. We have switched to google docs.
Wiki Organization
Each team needs to follow a standard procedure for placing information on their individual team wiki pages. For this assignment each team should have the following sentence on their teams home page:
Ex.
"Team Name" goals and meeting minutes.
The word goals should be a link to the subteam goal page. This page should be titled with heading one "Team Name" Goals. Following that title should be links to each individual semesters goals. For this semester the link should say "Fall 2008" and link to a page of the individual team's fall 2008 proposal/task list.
Ex.
h1. "Team Name" Goals
"At the beginning of each academic term, the "Team Name" team discusses previous work and future goals. Below, links are given to show current goals and how the goals have progressed from semester to semester."
The semester goal page should be titled with heading 1 "Team Name" Goals, followed by the heading 2 "Semester" Team Members. Following that heading should be a list of that semester's team members, given as links to each member's individual page(the title of each member's individual page should be their netID). The next heading, in heading 2, should be "Semester" Goals. Below that the semester goals should be given.
Ex.
h1. "Team Name" Goals
h2. "Semester" Team Members (ex. Fall 2008 Team Members)
h2. "Semester" Goals (ex. Fall 2008 Goals)
Semester goals
If the individual team has previous semester goals on pages in a manner different than described above you will need to convert those pages to this format for the Midterm Wiki report.
