Administrivia

• Today is group check-ins!
  • Each group should describe the tasks that they are currently working on, the points assigned to each tasks, and so on and so forth.
• Wednesday and Friday are work time. Please plan how you will use that time to your best advantage. (E.g., meetings with clients or mentors. Exploring code base. Drinking coffee.)
• I have not yet heard a revised meeting date from MICA.

Weekly Reports

Start this week, every Sunday night each group should send a weekly report to me and to all the mentors (not just yours). The report should cover the following four points.

• What did you accomplish during the past week?
• What do you hope to accomplish in the coming week?
• What obstacles stand in your way?
• What resources will help you accomplish your task?

Presentation Format

We will have presentations every week. We'll alternate between quick presentations (next week) and more substantive presentations. Today's will fall somewhere in between.

• Intended Goals. Remind us of your goals for the time period and the points you associated with those goals.
• Overview of Accomplishments. Which of those goals did you accomplish? What other (unexpected) things did you deal with along the way?
• Demo. Show off the current state of your system, focusing on the parts you were working on.
• Code Walkthrough. Show us an interesting part of your code from the past two weeks and explain it to us. (Optional today.)
• New Goals. What do you intend to accomplish over the next two-week iteration? What points have you assigned to each task? How are you dividing the work?

Please strive for organized and coherent presentations.
