1 Get familiar with AB3 features
- Familiarize yourself with AB3: Download the latest released version (i.e., the jar file) of AB3 from its upstream repo and play around with it to familiarize with its current features.
2 Set up a project meeting time by the end of the tutorial
- After forming teams, set up a weekly project meeting time/venue (and communication channels) with your team members:
Relevant: [
Team Communications
- Use English for all team communications, both spoken and written.
- We recommend at least one 1-2 hour face-to-face project meeting per week, in addition to any online meetings. Reason: you need to know how to run both types of project meetings. The project meeting time can be used to discuss project related things, but also, can be used as a time for team members to work on the project tasks individually (having all members in the same place will facilitate easier collaboration and more peer-learning).
- Fix a weekly 1-2 hour time slot and a venue for project meetings after the team has been finalized (latest by week 3 tutorial). All members are expected to attend weekly project meetings (not doing so
could lower the peer evaluation ratings you receive, which in turn will be factored into your grade).
The best time to have the weekly project meeting is, after the previous week's lecture but before the deadline for weekly tasks.
