Week 4 [Fri, Aug 27th] - Summary

We strongly recommend you to have a team project meeting before the tutorial. Do the following during the meeting:

  • Finish the tP tasks allocated for the week. For example, if you don't have a preliminary project idea by this week's tutorial (as per the tP schedule), the tutor will not be able to give feedback on it.
    • Note that the timeliness of tP tasks (i.e., the deadline is the midnight before the tutorial) is graded under the project management component of the tP.
    • Keep notes of the meeting, and update project documents -- the tutor will ask for those during the tutorial.
  • Help each other finish iP tasks. Tasks allocated to this week are especially troublesome and some peer help can be very useful.
