Forming Teams
The first and most important thing to do in this couse is to find teammates! You need to start looking for a team right away, since teams must be complete by the end of week 02.
ℹ️
Rules around team formation:
- Teams must consist of four people.
- Team members must all be enrolled in the same sections of the course.
- Everyone must commit to attending team activities in-person. You cannot take this course remotely.
Find other people
How do you find a team?
- Convince your friends to take the course! The instructor can probably override them in.
- Join friends who are already taking the course! If you are in different sections, speak with the instructor to see if you can be moved to the same section.
- Use the Search for Teammates post on Piazza to find teams that are looking for people.
- Introduce yourself to people sitting near you! We’ll even give you time at the end of lectures to meet.
⚠️
We will do our best to help you find a team, its ultimately your responsibility. In extreme cases, failing to be registered in a team after week 02 may result in you being removed from the course.
Discuss how to work together
Before agreeing to work together, make sure that you agree on the basics:
- Are you all registered in the same sections?
- Are you all able to attend class? Can everyone participate equally?
- Do you have free time outside of class to meet?
Make sure to review the team contract guidelines. You will be required to complete a team contract as part of the Project Setup milestone.
Register in Learn
Once you have a team formed, register yourselves on Learn:
- In Learn, navigate to
Connect>Groupsand choose an empty team from the list. - Add yourself and your team members.
