The only requirement is that your journal entries reflect an integration and application of the material covered. However, please feel free to use the journal to record your discoveries from experiences other than the ones specified. There will be at least one integrated journal entry per week reflecting your leanings from class activities and projects. Discussion on the assigned readings should normally start at least two weeks prior to the due date to allow for adequate learning team discussion. All learning team members will be expected to contribute to each of the readings.
Projects are group efforts.
Groups will be assigned and each group will be responsible for selecting an appropriate topic for a design effort and secure the approval of the class and instructor. Consideration should be given to access to the organization from which the design topic originates. Each team will develop a preliminary project plan and delivery the preliminary plan to each other student participant and instructor at least two days prior to the class due date. The class will evaluate the plan and the team will be encouraged to evaluate this feedback and make any changes necessary to the plan to finalize prior to submission for grading purposes. Formal project status reporting will occur every other class sessions after acceptance of the plan.
