"most teams fail to achieve their potential, not
because of lack of
knowledge or skill, but because of lack of planning"
GROUP PAPER AND POWERPOINT PRESENTATION
For a variety of reasons, teams would rather talk about their project, rather than invest the hard energy and effort asking: 1) what needs to be done; and 2) who is going to do what?
One student last semester remarked "I find that the main resources our team needs is a detailed explanation of the actual project. It seems that though all over our work is geared toward the mysterious project, with no substantial understanding of what that project is."
Although the project requirements are clearly laid out on the course web site. I have elaborated the requirements again in somewhat of a sequential order so that each group can develop a project calendar.
