1 Get familiar with AB3 features
- Familiarize yourself with AB3: Download the latest released version (i.e., the jar file) of AB3 from its upstream repo and play around with it to familiarize with its current features.
2 Set up a project meeting time by the end of the tutorial
- After forming teams, set up a weekly project meeting time/venue (and communication channels) with your team members:
Admin Teams → Communication
Team Communications
-
Use English for all team communications, both spoken and written.
-
We recommend at least one 1-2 hour synchronous online project meeting per week, in addition to any asynchronous communicating. Reason: Having all members available at the same time will facilitate easier collaboration and more peer-learning.
- Fix a weekly 1-2 hour time slot
and a venuefor project meetings after the team has been finalized (latest by the end of week 3 tutorial). All members are expected to attend weekly project meetings (not doing so could lower the peer evaluation ratings you receive, which in turn will be factored into your grade). - The best time for the weekly project meeting is the period Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday i.e., soon after the lecture but well ahead of the deadline for weekly tasks. Reason: After the lecture → you'll have the knowledge required for upcoming project tasks; before the deadline → you can use the meeting to deal with weekly project tasks.
