• Announcement emailed to everybody: Summer Engineering Interns presentations, Sept. 21, dinner served. Read your email and RSVP to Andrea Tulenko.
• Teams - all set?
• Thinking about dropping? Let us know, so that we can help rearrange the teams.
• Format of the lab from next week on:
  • Start with an overview - all in B01.
  • Pass a sign-up sheet for Ileana's discussion time with each team.
  • I will spend 15 minutes with each team during the evening lab (2 hours in total), and one hour with overview, various ad-hoc problems and the final wrap-up class discussion.
  • During my 15 minutes with each team, I will discuss with you various design problems, help you with decisions or with fixing it when it does not work.
  • Extra time for extra help on the robot part of the course will be available during the Wednesday night lab hours with Jessi, by email or by setting up special appointments with me via email.
• Grading the lab work. Here are some preliminary guidelines.
  • For the first 2 weeks, I will look only at:
    • Whether you have turned in what was required or not.
    • Whether the report documented your progress with the new material, technology and the necessary advancement in computer skills.
    • Whether it was done in time or not.
  • After about two weeks you will be given a lecture on Tuesday on how to do lab reports and document technical work. Then I will give you guidelines on what the grading of the lab report will be based on.
