Announcements

• We need a notetaker for the class

• Do your best to talk with your sponsor this week.
• Read chapter 7 on concept generation for the lecture. We will do activity on this next studio session.

Extra

• Start early promise less: better to finish something small and test it that so that it actually works than to promise big and fail
• Document what you do
• Team owns the IP
• This class is like a job. Real expecations, real stakeholders. You are expected to be here. You will need to be putting in at least 10-12 hrs a week to have any chance to get your projects done to what you expect. Start now.
• Cover letters and resumes looked good.

Studio structure

• Begin with a 1 hr lecture or activity (not every week).
• Work on your project.
• TAs will meet with you 15-20 minutes per week.
• I'll meet with you 15-20 minutes ever other week.
• Attendance will be taken.
• You must have an agenda prepared for the meetings with us. If you don't, then you're participatiog grade will suffer (starting next week).
