Starting the research project

Today we split up into the teams that you'll be in for the purpose of the unit.

Thare are three groups:


I gave out an agenda for everyone's first meeting:

1.Apologies for absence
2.Team name
3.Clarification of the purpose of the project
4.Team Members’ Contact Details
5.Acceptable group behaviour / group working
6.Who will do what? Team roles.
7.Strategy for successful completion of project
8.Any other competent business
9.Date of next meeting

It will probably not be neccessary to have a formal meeting with an agenda each week, however it is good experience to have more formal meetings with agendas every now and again. Part of the assessment for this unit requires you to organise, take part in and record the proceedings of a meeting.

The main thing that I wanted people to work out today was the objective of your team's project and to allocate tasks within the groups.

Now that we have a date for the submission of reports for Colin (second week in May) - we can work backwards from that to work out our timescale. We'll look at that next week.
