Form a Team#

This is the first thing you should do!

You will need to form project teams when joining this course. This should ideally be done in the first two weeks of the term, since your first demo is in week 03!

Guidelines#

Rules for team formation:

Four people per team.
Everyone must be in the same sections.
In-person and everyone can attend meetings and demos.

How do you find a team?

You will given time at the end of each class to meet people.
There is a piazza thread that will be opened in the first day of class, where you can match with potential teammates.
Recruit your friends! We can often add people in the first week.

Steps#

Once formed, you must register your team by following these steps.

Step 1: Agree on how to work together#

You need to make some early decisions around how your team will operate.

Decide on times when you will meet in-person. You need to meet at least twice per week, at an agreed upon time, and record meeting minutes.
Decide on how you will communicate outside of class e.g., MS Teams, WhatsApp, Discord. It doesn’t matter what you choose, but everyone needs to agree to monitor and respond to team chat.

Fill in the Team Information section of the README.md file with these details.

Step 2: Register your team#

Next, you should register your team on Learn:

In Learn, navigate to Connect > Groups and select Teams from the drop-down list.
Click on an empty team from the list.
Click on Enrol Users to add yourself and your team members. Save it. Done!

Don’t forget your team number!
