Class Participation Assignments Due	Team Formation - Staff (Step 3 of 4) Description: In this third week of team-related activities, our goal is to pick a preliminary list of members for our team. Obviously, those students who find the project opportunity will be part of the project team. The objective is for us to find a home for everyone on some team. Staffing success will be reached when we have evenly sized teams (approximately 4 people), when team skills are well-matched with project needs, and when each team member can see a role for themselves that is appealing. While I prefer that teams self-staff, I am willing to intervene in the staffing process if necessary. Submit to: N/A (In-Class Activity)
