- Mary Jane will be the semi-formal leader of the
team and liaison to Chet Amagan. Her duties
and responsibilities include-
- Writing weekly reports and submitting them to
Chet on time.
- Keeping the team focused and on track at
meetings.
- Reminding team members of duties and enforcing
deadlines and team member responsibilities.
- The team will make all decisions collectively;
normally the team will discuss issues until a consensus is reached. In cases when disagreement cannot be
overcome, a majority vote will be the deciding factor. If a vote is inconclusive, the team
leader will decide what is in the best interest of the team.
- Team members will meet every Tuesday from 2:00pm
until 4:00pm (lab time) and we will attempt to use the entire lab time each
week. Extra weekly meetings will
be scheduled on a need-basis; these will be arranged at the regular
weekly lab meeting. Each member
will reserve the time from 9-10:30pm on Thursdays for extra team
meetings.
- The last ten minutes of each meeting will be devoted to discussing team
strengths and weaknesses. Each team member will identify something about
the team or the project that they feel is going well and will explain
why. After each team member
addresses a strength, each member will then
identify a concerns or complaint and explain why they are
concerned. Before ending the
meeting the team must invent a solution which best meets the needs of
the team or lay out a plan for coming to a solution related to
concerns. It is the responsibility of team members to be upfront with
each other, as well as considerate.
- Team members will be expected to perform assigned
tasks on time. They will also be expected to perform at their highest
level of ability to accomplish high quality work.
- If a team member is not performing to the highest
expectations of the team, the other team members will consult with each
other, and then the team leader will address the “struggling” member.
The team leader will express the team’s concerns and work with the
member to achieve better results. If the team member refuses to
cooperate and work for the good of the team or in some other way fails
to accomplish necessary goals, the team will collectively meet with Chet
Amagan to come to a solution.
- If a team member will not be able to attend any
meeting, s/he is responsible for informing all of her teammates via
email or phone. If s/he was responsible for bringing materials,
information, etc, s/he will still be responsible for passing the
materials along to another team member, prior to the scheduled meeting.
Excessive absences or failure to meet the previously mentioned
responsibility will be addressed by the team leader and then by Chet Amagan.
- Valid excuses for absences include illness,
athletics, family affairs, or work. Other excuses will be addressed by
the team and judged as excusable or inexcusable. Two or more inexcusable
absences will lead to termination from the team.
