  • 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. In this class session, I want students to find their way to their permanent breakout group. We will discuss the mechanics of how these group work during this class session.
