Group Project 1: Getting to Know You

Group Project 1 is very simple: between the second and third week of classes each team must gather for 1-3 hours outside of class to talk (go hiking, cook a meal together, go out to dinner, go bowling). A brief write-up is required from each team. This team project is required because experience has shown that the quicker groups of people get to know each other, the quicker they coalesce into real teams. So this is designed as an opportunity to get related to your teammates and pick a team name.

The requirements/recommendations for the TP1 meeting:

• Meet for no less than one hour; preferably 2 or 3 hours
• Get to know each other (learn at least 3 things about each teammate)
• Select a team name (I admire clever names that play on the course content/topics, or capture the essence of your team of people)

The requirements for the write-up of Group Project 1:

• Only one version/copy of this assignment is due from each team
• It should be approximately 1-2 pages
• It must include the team number, name, people who were there, three interesting/insightful things that the team learned about each teammate, and where you went, what you did, and how it went
• Note: APA style and references are NOT required for this write-up
• As with all writeen assignments, e-mail it to me on the day it is due and bring a hard-copy to class for your team folder.
