Accountability Team

Accountability Teams (aka A-Teams) are opportunities for you to get constructive feedback and ask questions about your senior project and provide constructive feedback to your teammates about their projects.

You will either volunteer for or get assigned to a team of 3 people by or during the third class after drop/add.

A-Teams

• Aki, Cui Hua

• Angelique, Yoojin, Meghana

• Alex, Arianny, Anagha

• Iryn, Rebecca, Allison

Will add Langyue to one of the teams above once I get an idea of their senior project direction.

For the first meeting

• Each member of the A-Team should introduce yourself, describe your project, explain your milestones timeline over the semester, and what the project will look like at various stages (project versions).

• Make sure you get each other's contact info (cell phone).

• Schedule a recurring weekly in-person or virtual meeting to check-in with one another.

• Follow instructions for the rest of the meeting in the on a weekly basis section below.

On a weekly basis

• Check-in with each other INSIDE & OUTSIDE of class

• Please note you can create your own virtual space (i.e. Google Space, Discord, What's App, etc.)

• Conduct a weekly review

  • Review each other's calendar(s)

  • Review each other's your actionable tasks either through your weekly status updates or (optional) project management platform.

  • Ask each other questions and provide feedback on your senior projects.

• Take notes for each other's demos and presentations.

• Provide moral support and encouragement.

Collaborative Meeting Notes Guidelines

Your team should collaboratively take meeting notes (e.g., using Google Docs), or you can rotate the note-taker position for each meeting.

What to Include in Your Notes:

• Names of all A-Team members present

• Date, Time, and Modality (in-person, virtual, or asynchronous)

• Questions asked during the meeting

• Feedback received for each member

• Any other key insights or discussions

Organizing Your Notes:

• Keep all weekly notes in a single Google Doc.

• Use headers to structure the document for easy navigation, similar to your weekly status updates.

• One Google Doc per A-Team, starting February 12, with weekly updates.

Access and Sharing:

• Grant editing access to all A-Team members and the instructor.

• Grant view access to everyone else.

• Post the link to this Google doc.
