  17. What WE Expect From YOU 1. Collaborative learning Working in groups 2. Class participation Showing up and doing the work 3. Time Remember.... 17 hours/ wk. is plenty when working together: 4 x 17 =68 hours per week? 4. Effort

  18. Working in Groups • Complementary Skills and Roles • Competency • Commitment • Communication

  19. Schedule Monday: 1:00-1:50 Lecture I Tuesday: 1:00-1:50 Lecture II Wednesday: 1:00-2:50 Lab I Thursday: 1:00-1:50 Lab II Friday: 1:00-1:50 Presentations Quiz & Evaluations

  20. Grading Distribution • Deliverables (50 %) • Reports • Oral Presentation • Weekly Examination (25 %) • Final Exam (25%)

  21. The Written Report • Work together • Length is not important • Fulfill the requirements (B.S takes time to write !) • How should it sound? • Read a technical report (How does it sound?) • How should it look? • PROFESSIONAL

  22. The Oral Presentation • Graded on basic elements and effectiveness of style • Tomorrow’s Session (Prof. Wittels) Presenting styles cannot be taught... They must be observed and developed.

  23. Weekly Quiz • Individual Effort • 15-20 minutes • Stresses concepts of the week • Do the reading!

  24. How to do well in this class • Be patient in learning new concepts • The hardest part • Work efficiently together • Ask questions • How do I do this problem? (not answered) • I did this, what do you think? • Get it done.

  25. How to do well in this class • Check the course web-age daily http://cee.wpi.edu/ce1030_d00/ http://courses.wpi.edu/

  26. And now …... • Form Teams for tomorrow’s session (4 students per group) and also for next week’s lab “What makes a presentation an effective presentation?”
