We hold a 3 hour kickoff meeting at each client. The client explains the set of projects we could work on in much greater detail than the proposal. Together, we select a mutually satisfactory subset of projects to pursue. We identify each student's particular responsibility. Each student leaves with the beginnings of a clear understanding of the project they will work on.
Students meet weekly with their project manager.
We study technology, project management and presentation skills. We evaluate the project's progress and set clear goals for the rest of the work. Students present their results and hand-off their work to clients. Both students and Prof. Goldberg will speak in class. The schedule will be revised as the semester progresses.
