Detailed Task List

The detailed task list should be a stand alone document that describes the tasks that your team is planning to do throughout the semester and how you will accomplish these tasks. It is highly recommended that you work off of the list of challenges already created. You should be as detailed as possible for the first tasks and include steps you will carry out. You can assume that we understand how to code or how your experimental apparatus works here, but you cannot assume that we understand the logic behind what you are doing.

Set deadlines for your first 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 ). Practice utilizing a team calendar for scheduling and uploading supporting documents in your team's folder.

Specific Guidelines for Design and Outreach Teams

A good strategy in design and outreach is to 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 will be addressed in outreach and design by a weekly summary. Changes to the list during the semester should also be addressed in the weekly summary 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 weekly summary should be detailed enough to give Monroe a good idea of who's working on what.

Specific Guidelines for Research Teams

Do not detail how you collect or analyze data here, that will be documented in your Reflection Reports.

Grading

The detailed task lists will be turned in as a first draft and teams will undergo a brief editing process. Teams will then post their final task lists on the wiki as their semester goals.

For full credit it is expected that the first draft is thoughtful and adheres to all of the guidelines above. The final posted semester goals must be on time and they must show that the edits were addressed from the rough draft.
