Detailed task list

Assignment

Generate a google doc of goals that your team aims to accomplish this semester and delegate tasks within that list. Set deadlines for these tasks and copy and paste the tasks to your team calendar The document for your team is available on the AguaClara google account ( username and password ). You will probably want to work off of the list of challenges already created, but make sure all tasks are divided into individual steps. Add your team's member's names to the top of the list and use a color coding system to designate tasks. 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 also be addressed in weekly meeting minutes so that we can keep track of why things changed. We don't want to retrace our steps if someone tried something and it didn't work. 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 relevant published material should be done to guide current research proposals. This has not been emphasized in the past, but this year it will count towards your grade on this assignment.

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 and teams will undergo a brief editing process with Monroe. Teams will then post their final task lists on the wiki as their semester goals.

For full credit (5 points) it is expected that the first draft is thoughtful and adheres to all of the guidelines above, especially with regard to the literature search. The final posted semester goals must be on time and they must show that the edits were addressed from the rough draft. One out of the five points is lost for every day the rough draft or final draft is late.
