Fourth Lab: Finalize your Chapter Outline.

Dear team ? class? students?
hmmm..  I suggested all your teams to find some good name for your team (like Dare Devils for Delhi Cricket). I think we need to find some name for our entire group of 240 + 10TA + me and Eugene. I dont want to refer you as just students or class. Any name suggestions for our full group of 240 ?

Well, dears ..
You have spent last 3 Lab sessions, trying to get some basics done. You got all your team members at a reasonable level of understanding of Google Apps collaboration platform, you have formed the teams, assigned roles, created mailing lists, calendars, identified the team project - the chapter topic. You have also learned how to research on the web and have already identified about 50 articles on the subject that your team can use as the raw material for developing your product - the chapter of the book. Some of you may feel, we are going so slow. But when we are working as a team, specially in the initial stages of formation and learning new processes, the things can not be done faster.

Now you have started actual Product Development work. From now, for every task you perform you must follow Quality Standards. Quality standards for work to be performed are already published for your use on the shared folder.

In the forth lab each team member will read 2 articles assigned to him/her by the team. You will read and carefully make notes. Use Onenotes if possible for taking notes. Share your notes with the full team. Prepare a short presentation on what have you learned by reading those 2 articles about the Chapter topic. Then you need to have a brainstorming meeting among all team members. This brainstorming meeting you will have to organize outside the class some time during this week. The end product of your this week's efforts should be a Chapter Outline devided into multiple sections and each section assigned to a team member.

Next week each team member will finish writing minimum 2 pages of content for the section allotted to him/her.

You have done very well so far. Keep it up.
