Prep For In‑Class Activities
  • Form Semester-Long Breakout Groups
    We will be breaking out into groups during most class sessions during the semester. Sometimes, we will be discussing the topics of the day and reporting back. Other times, we will be working on design, coding, and testing problems. Many times, we will be talking about our Final Projects. The breakout group assignments that we will be using throughout the semester will be set in this class meeting. The number and size of groups will be determined by the number and size of the tables in our classroom. If you have a preferred group of classmates that would like to form part of a group, it would be helpful for you to have discussed these arrangements before this class session begins.
