Team Contract Assessment

Description

The team contract assessment assignment is a question-based assignment describing whether the obligations set out in the team contract were met. Project groups should individually complete the questionnaire available on Canvas. Here are some of the grounds using which you should formulate your answers:

Project Goals: This section should begin with a short description of what you planned on building at the start of the semester. What were the goals of your project? You should elaborate on whether these goals were met.

Expectations: This section should address whether the expectations set in the “Expectations” section in your team contract were met. Essentially, were the ground rules your team set out at the start of the semester followed?
Roles: At the beginning of the course, your team outlined roles as part of the team contract. Please describe what your roles are now and–if your roles changed–how they evolved as the semester progressed. Did you assign a leader? Were pieces of the project tackled as a group or individually? Why?
Agenda: How did your team make decisions about the project? How were goals set? When an issue with the project came up, how did your team plan to fix it?
Team Issues: This section should cover team-related issues that your group encountered during the course. What sort of problems did you run into? How were they dealt with? Was the process set out in the team contract followed?  In hindsight could you have done things differently to have a better team experience?

Requirements

Each section should report adequate depth and completeness when addressing all relevant questions.

Submission and Deadlines

The team contract assessment document is a group assignment and should be submitted on canvas before the deadline listed on the Calendar.

Easy Cube Clock

Allan Englehardt, Jason Luzinski, Benjamin Riggins

Featured Project

Today's alarm clock market is full of inexpensive, but hard to use alarm clocks. It is our observation that there is a need for an alarm clock that is easy to set, and turn on and off with little instruction. Imagine an alarm that is set with the intuitive motion of flipping the clock over. When the alarm is on, you can see the alarm time on the top of the clock. To turn off the alarm, you simply flip it over to hide alarm display. Out of sight, out of mind. The front face of the clock will always show the current time, and will flip to the correct orientation.
