SCHEDULE
You will be working on your own schedule, but you must coordinate with other students in the class and log all of your interactions. If you like, you may schedule real-time meetings with your team using phone of Zoom (or Google Hangouts or another app) but you must record or take notes on such meetings—and inform Professor Barlow of when these meetings occur (though he won’t join unless specifically invited). You should expect to be available to your team members through some form of electronic contact during at least six hours a week that your group determines. After the first week, you will be working pretty much on your own:
Week One:
The 1-2-4-All Challenge; identifying yourself; viewing, two a day, the parts of the Technical Writing Coronavirus Challenge. Start keeping a log/journal of your activities including who you have been working with.
Week Two:
Working with classmates, develop a schedule for the rest of the month with benchmarks tailored to meet those put forward in the PowerPoint. Keep up you log/journal
Week Three:
By this point, you should have a good idea of how the rest of the semester is going to go. Email Professor Barlow with details of what you have been doing, attaching and drafts and detailing who you have been collaborating with.
Week Four:
Make sure that every other group is up to speed and check with individuals who have been falling behind.
Week Five:
Start preparing for the end of the semester. Not only with all of your products need to be ready but your log/journal will the in appropriate form for presentation to Professor Barlow, including details on the three of the four areas for your grade (the log/journal itself being the fourth. In other words, make sure the research you did is spelled out clearly, that your participation is mapped (including details on who you worked with), and that your contribution to the project is presented. Provide all projects to Professor Barlow or links.
