Guide for Team Operation
The team project is an important part of this course not only because
everyone gets to participate in a realistic Web Design and Programming project
but also because you will learn how to work within a team and get
things done. This experience will be valuable in a commercial
company setting.
Dealing with problems, frustrations as well as planning for successes
are a normal part of working in a team setting. You are expected to make
every attempt to govern your team's progress throughout the semester,
however, if you need assistance in resolving problems, please let TAs
and instructors know as soon as possible.
Here are some points to guide you so your team will work smoothly.
- The team should meet early and first decide how/when the team will
meet and conduct business. It is suggested that the team meet
at least once a week.
- It is important for the team to divide up the duties clearly
and set realistic deadlines for subtasks. Everyone must pull
his/her own weight. The team should decide early on how
to deal with team members who are lagging behind.
One system is for the team to keep a running log of events
and hand the log in as part of the team report.
This log may also include successess and failures of the project as well
as team dynamics. It is required that you retain this development
information as a part of your final project report which will be
submitted at the end of the semester.
- It is important for the team to observe the milestones of
the project (please see syllabus for dates and times) and to
seek help early. Get the TA to help, ask the instructor questions ...
- At the end, a team project report, an individual report will have to
be submitted. Each team will have a 20-min live presentation of the
Web Site created also.
- At the end of the class, the following items are due:
- team and individual reports (hardcopy or PDF online)
- URL of your site indicated at the beginning of your team report and also email to TA
- Site files, team report and individual reports, design graphics files (photoshop files etc.) are all uploaded to your WebDAV repository.
