Yes, I know each of us is as independent as a hog on ice, but we need to get all of this done by next Thursday's class. May I suggest the following to help us prioritize our tasks:
Saturday:
Must do:
1. Become fully familiar with the assignment, deliverables and scoring rubric.
2. Create a group plan to deliver your phase of the project: discovery through synthesis including task delegation and deadlines.
3. Generate a fall-back plan if dependencies fail (e.g. summaries/reactions to readings to other group's work is not available in time for you to produce your deliverable).
3. Have each of your group members react to at least one different item on the required reading list on this blog.
4. Delegate and deliver your group's expertise on this blog based on the suggested readings.
5. Establish group communication methods and escalation procedures based on agreed-upon timeline.
6. Elect a group leader as the primary contact person and post that person's name and other group members on the 'Who's doing what' entry (3rd oldest post below).
Nice to do:
1. Establish a more detailed architecture of your deliverable.
2. Deliver sub-tasks to feed your final project.
3. Read, evaluate and incorporate posts from other group's 'experts'.
Sunday:
Must do:
1. Finish 'nice to do' list from Saturday
2. Complete all reading reactions that were not done on Saturday
3. Revisit blog for more input.
4. Hold virtual 'status meeting' for your group on blog to revise delivery plan.
Monday through Wednesday:
1. Revisit blog for more input from all groups.
2. Assess & revise sub-project task deliverables.
3. Revisit rubric to confirm compliance with all deliverables
4. Complete project.
Any complaints or concerns? Post here or contact me directly.
