Week 1 Discussion †
For this week's conference, respond to the following:
- Find an article in an IEEE or ACM journal about project management, read and summarize it, and give us your reactions to the article. Be sure to include a good citation to the article.
- What do you propose to do in case one or more members of your group make no significant contributions to your project.
- Note that reasonable ideas may be used in determining project grades!
- Describe some problems that might arise in a group project and suggest one or more strategies for dealing with those problems.
- You are welcome to comment (nicely!) on the postings of other students.
Week 1 Form Groups †
Here is where you discuss with each other topics you are interested in, and what role you would like to play in a project with the goal of forming at least tentative groups by the end of the week.
By the end of this week, you should have pretty well decided on the project topic for your group, posted it here, and gotten my agreement.
