Fall Faculty Conflicts

  1. Team meeting rooms will be determined and are on-campus.
  2. Lectures start promptly at the given time.
  3. Students are expected to prepare for the lectures by doing relevant (assigned or not) readings in advance and come to class ready to participate. If lectures list a lecture prep link, do the work before the lecture.
  4. "Team Presentations" means 2-3 students from each team make a formal presentation on the stated topic.
  5. All items listed as "Due" are deliverables that are due at the begining of class on the day listed. Click on the link for a description of the deliverable. Delivery of an item that is due generally consists of posting one copy on the team web site, delivering one paper copy to class and delivering one paper or email copy to the company liaison.
  6. The schedule will change. The version on the web is always the most current.
