2. Project 2 Peer Evaluation results.

6.18.2. Agenda

1. Assignments
   • Due today: Notebook 2.
   • Due Wednesday: Project 3 proposal.
   • Wednesday: brief in-class individual interviews.
2. In-class
   • Disassemble Project 2 and put components away, unless it is the basis for your Project 3 or you have approval to keep it intact.
   • Form your project 3 group.
     • If you have worked with the same partner twice, I would greatly prefer you change partners for Project 3. If you have a compelling reason to stay with the same partner, please be prepared to provide a strong justification.
     • I still prefer working pairs but no solo teams. We have an odd number of students, so there will necessarily be one group of three.
   • Start developing your project idea and preparing sketches and drawings and a project schedule. Please be sure to identify the hardest elements and clearly identify an early proof-of-concept goal.
