CIS29 Project Group Meeting #2 Suggested Agenda
Must be completed by February 6th
Select a Group Lead
This
is probably the most important part of the group project. The
lead will determine the level of success of the project. This
person needs to be
- a leader
- a good student
- a tactician
- someone that gets along with others
- someone with the time and energy to put in extra work for the project
You can "volunteer" or "campaign" for this position.
You can hold a vote.
If you cannot decide on one student, then two students can hold the position (but they must work together).
Someone must lead the group.
The group lead must act like a leader. |
