Team Setup

Introduction Round

Have an introduction round. To make it more fun, start with one student that interviews another one, then move to the next student, so that each one gets interviewed and each one poses the questions once.

You can ask the following:

  • Where are you from?
  • Which study program do you attend?
  • What did you have for breakfast?

(Or anything else you want to know.)

Team Reflection Document

Find Your Teams Channel

In the Team for the course, create a public channel for your Team. Call it Team XX, so for instance Team 01 for Team 1. Keep it public so other can send you files and messages, we need that later in the course.

Store all your documents in the files section of your team's channel.

Create a Team Reflection Document

Throughout the entire semester, you must maintain a team reflection document. This is a single document, one per team, in which you reflect over teamwork and roles. After each team activity you visit this document and add an entry for the week.

The team reflection document is also part of your final portfolio. It is not graded, but contributes as context for grading all other deliveries.

  • Find the template for the team reflection document in the general channel on Teams. It has the name Team Reflection Team XX.docx.
  • Make a copy, replace the XX with your two-digit team number, and place it in the files section of the public channel for your team.
  • Since this is a document you will need every week, you can make a Tab out of it, if you want.

Team Roles for This Week

Have a quick look again at the team roles that you have read through during the preparation.

  • Assign the roles for this week.
  • Go through the tasks of the roles and find out if you have the same understanding about them.

Time Check

Try to briefly get an overview of today's tasks, and come up with a rough time plan. Don't forget to schedule some breaks, too.

Find a Team Name

  • Find a name you like.
  • Put it also in the Team Reflection document.

Picture

  • Take a picture together.
  • Annotate the picture with your names.
  • Put the picture into your Team document.
  • Copy your picture also in the document "Team Pictures.pptx" on Teams.

Create a Week Entry

Create an entry for this week as a new section.

Attendance

Note the attendance of the team members during the week. If someone is missing, try to find out why and make a note.

We will come back to the team reflection document at the end.
