Feedback I received

  • Felt like they could have done more
  • Didn’t want to have to chase students

Engagement

  • Ask PRs to send a progress summary email once a week
  • How perscriptive to be with the agenda of the meeting?

Schedule

  • Kickoff meeting:
    • Students have defined the projects enough to give a brief presentation
    • Teams have been formed
    • Should happen quite early in the semester
  • Interim meetings
    • At least 3
    • Scheduled by me:
      • I know they will happen
      • Hard to get all 4 PRs to agree to the same time
      • A pain when there are conflicts
    • Scheduled by team:
      • I haven’t tried that yet
      • Teams might neglect to schedule the meeting on time
      • Can be remediated by grading means
    • Where
      • On Skype
        • Easier for everyone
        • Can be recorded
        • Participation from the whole team can’t be ensured
      • Live
        • A little less convenient
        • Also kind of old fashioned
