ISLAND+PROJECT+CALENDAR

=__ISLAND PROJECT TIME LINE__=

Each group is required to have a weekly meeting with me.The meeting could last between 5-10 minutes.If more time is needed, we will schedule at lunch.I will post this information on the bulletin board under the clock.If more than one student is absent, the meeting will be rescheduled for the following day.If a Friday meeting needs to be postponed, it will be rescheduled for the following Monday.At the beginning of class on Thursday, the spokesperson from each group will announce at the beginning of class if his/her group has the numbers to meet on that day.If there is a group scheduled for Thursday that cannot meet because more than one person is absent, that group will be scheduled for Friday and the first group scheduled for Friday will then meet with me on Thursday.Not showing up at a meeting will be a reason for losing points on the weekly participation grade.Each group member should be prepared to share what he/she has accomplished that week. - Ensure that each person in the group is doing their fare share - Ensure that the group is in constant communication and everyone is knowledgeable about their teammates tasks and progress. - Answer questions that come up related to the project and its procedures, as well as questions about information that is unclear or not well understood.
