N.B. Early in the lecture, I made a mistake saying that your references should be in APA format. As you know from the syllabus, we are using IEEE format in our class.

Weekly Writing Assignment, Week 10
After watching this week’s lecture and reading Prof. Ellis’ “Reply-All” email with your new team assignments, each team should have one member create a folder on Google Drive and share it with the other team members. Then, create a Google Doc inside your team’s shared folder to write a memo together about your team’s project topic deliberations and the topic that you ultimately chose. Each team member should then copy-and-paste the memo into a comment added to this post. Remember: Each team member will copy-and-paste the same memo that you wrote together.
TO: Prof. Ellis FROM: Hari Seldon, Mose Ellis, and Moomin Papa DATE: 11/17/2021 SUBJECT: Team Project Topic Write one sentence stating the purpose of this memo. Then, write about the topics that you considered and ultimately the topic that your team picked for your research report. This only needs to be 250 words.
Lecture, Week 9
NB: Wednesday office hours are cancelled this week. Email Prof. Ellis with any questions or to setup an alternate office hour time.
Weekly Writing Assignment, Week 9
There is no Weekly Writing Assignment this week. Focus on completing your Instruction Manual draft in Google Docs for sharing and peer review next week. We will discuss this in the Week 10 Lecture.

Mid-Semester Grades
Hello, all! Mid-semester grades are available via the “Check My Grade” link on the left side of our OpenLab Course Site. These grades do not appear on your transcript. They are intended to show you how you are doing in the class. In some cases, they confirm that you are doing well, and in other cases, they serve as a wake-up call. They are based on completing major projects on-time and keeping up with the Weekly Writing Assignments and homework.
