Team Reviews


Lab Teams are to produce a status report periodically.  You are to give the 
class a report on your progress, problems and questions.  

There is no prescribed format for these reports, but the team should elect
a speaker (or all take turns, whatever works best) and use some slides or 
charts to give the class and Dr. Turner a good feel for how much progress
you've made as a team.

At a minimum, we eventually need to know the following:

1. The subject of the lab.
2. What is the technical aspect of the lab.
3. What is the ethical issue implicated (cite SE Code).
4. What are the strengths of the lab exercise you propose.
5. What are the weaknesses of the lab exercise you propose.
6. What is the necessary preparation for the students who will perform the lab
(cite to books, papers, standards, laws, anything they should read beforehand
or should have at their side during the lab.)
7. What is the "outcome" of the lab - what lessons should the student learn 
from the lab?
8. What equipment or software is required to perform the lab?
9. How long will the lab take the average student (remember, 206 is the most
upper division course that you know they've taken.)
10. What will a lab report look like?  A sample, worked out, should be submitted 
as a deliverable.

So, report your progress in these aspects to the class.  Your report should be 
about your progress, your problems and your questions.  The whole class is a 
resource, your questions and problems should be presented and you can expect
help and suggestions right there.  This is not a competitive exercise, and 
students who are active in helping other teams will receive class participation
credit...this can be significant in grading.  So, feel free to contribute, it 
will not hurt your team, I will work to make sure of that.
