In-Class Work 6: Project Checkpoint
We do this live in class. Small breakout rooms, running most of the session, then the room stays open for anyone who wants to stick around and ask me things.
Each person gets about eight minutes:
- Describe your project in about two minutes: what it is, what it has to do, how you’ll know it works, and what you changed after my feedback on your proposal
- The group asks questions for about three minutes. For example: what happens if that part doesn’t fit? How are you measuring that? What’s your backup if the sensor doesn’t arrive?
- The group agrees on the single biggest risk to that project finishing on time, and on what to do about it. One risk, not a list
Each of you submits the group’s answer. Type it into the Moodle submission box:
- First line: everyone’s full names
- Second line: your room number
- For each person, starting with their name: the project in one sentence, the biggest risk the group agreed on, and what to do about it
Grading. Everyone in the group gets the same score. If you do not submit, you get no credit for that session. Grading and the AI policy are in the syllabus. Specific to this one: the risk has to be specific. “Running out of time” is not a risk; the reason they would run out of time is.
