We talked about this a bit but we are looking for ideas that we can implement in the classroom, the assignments, etc to help prepare students for the open nature of the projects and help them learn and be successful.
As a group, please take notes of what you think is important and have your group send me an email at the end of class.
Step 1: Review Course goals and syllabus
To start lets review the slides and syllabus from day one. We can go over this quickly. I am interested to see if my plan for the semester met our expectations.
