Working as Teams in HCI 440

  • Allows for both synchronous and asynchronous collaboration
  • All teams have individual work that is then shared with the team
  • All projects have suggested milestone dates
  • Communication is critical!

I will form teams based on sync/async preferences and domain of inquiry preferences. Other comments may be taken into consideration.

Comments from Winter quarter class on groups/teams

Listed under aspects most beneficial:

  • Working in teams and all the hand on projects
  • group project
  • Working on a project throughout the quarter was very beneficial for me.
  • The group project was a great way to enhance my understanding of course materials.
  • Group project work, experiences discussing in small groups in class.
  • group work was very fun and useful. having async and sync options really helped out.
  • Team activities.

Listed under suggestions for improvement:

  • Making everything group project based squashed my creativity. Ideas that I wanted to implement were often not liked by other group members who took more control of the projects. I would have liked more of the assignments to be individual.
