What WE Expect From YOU 1. Collaborative learning
2. Class participation Showing up and doing the work 3. Time Remember.... 17 hours/ wk. is
plenty
when working
together:
4 x 17 =68 hours per week?
Working in Groups Complementary Skills and Roles Competency Commitment
Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: Schedule 1:00-1:50 Lecture I 1:00-1:50 Lecture II 1:00-2:50 Lab I 1:00-1:50 Lab II 1:00-1:50 Presentations Quiz & Evaluations
Grading Distribution Deliverables (50 %) – Reports – Oral Presentation Weekly Examination (25 %) Final Exam (25%)
The Written Report Work together Length is not important – Fulfill the requirements (B.S takes time to write !) How should it sound?
– Read a technical report (How does it sound?) How should it look?
– PROFESSIONAL
The Oral Presentation Graded on basic elements and effectiveness of style Tomorrow’s Session (Prof. Wittels)
Presenting styles cannot be taught... They must be observed and developed.
Weekly Quiz Individual Effort 15-20 minutes Stresses concepts of the week Do the reading!
How to do well in this class Be patient in learning new concepts – The hardest part Work efficiently together Ask questions How do I do this problem?
