I was very impressed with what I saw during our peer review workshop yesterday. Your instructables look like they’re very close to being done, and I hope the feedback you received will help you put the finishing touches on your projects. We won’t spend any more time in class working on the instructables assignment, but if you’d like to meet with me to discuss your project, please stop by during my office hours or email me to set up an appointment at a different time.
Next week, we will turn our attention to Unit #3, a collaboratively written recommendation report. To help me put you into balanced teams, please print out and complete the Teaming Inventory document (linked on the Readings page), then bring the results page with you to class on Tuesday. In addition, please read Chapter 8 in the textbook before you come to class.
On Thursday, you will submit your Unit #2 memos at the beginning of class. (Please refer to the assignment sheet for submission instructions.) After I introduce the Unit #3 assignment, we will spend the remainder of the class talking about collaboration and team work. If time permits, you’ll be able to hold your first team meeting and begin drafting your team’s memorandum of understanding, which will be due the following Tuesday.
As always, if you have any questions about these plans, you can email me or leave a comment on this post.

The Readings page is intentionally protected. To access that page, use the password listed on the first page of the course syllabus. I also sent out the password in the Week 7 update email. If you lost that message, let me know and I’ll re-send the password to you via email.
