Make sure to accurately explain all of the components of the final: wiki report individual contribution, the final wiki report Final Wiki Update itself, challenges for future semesters, final peer evaluations, and the final presentationspresentation.

Office Hours

It is a good idea to hold a few office hours the week before the midterm and final wikis are due. This gives students a chance to come in and ask for help on anything from formatting the wiki to debugging code.

Team Bonding

Work with Monroe to organize an end of the year dinner at his house. You should send out a planning survey for it so you can get a head count, and also tell everyone to meet in the back lot of Hollister to organize a carpool.

Email

You will want to send a detailed email explaining the end of semester work to the team at least 2 weeks before the first draft of the final wiki is due. Explain to them that there are several components to the final, as listed above. Give them links to the assignments and remind them of due dates and your office hours. Also reiterate why the wiki is important as a database and how their work is very valuable. You want the team to remember that AguaClara is not just a class and their hard work can only be useful if it is precisely and accurately written up.

It is your job to book a good room for the final presentations (try for McManus Lounge in Hollister). You should also come up with a good order for the presenters to go in so that projects and presentations build off of one another. We have changed the format several times for these. The current format is to split the team in 2, have half the teams present in the two hours before dinner, have a pot luck dinner for an hours, then have the other half afterwards. Students are only required to be there for their half. You should encourage students to invite friends that might be interested in joining.

Lab Clean Up

Organize a lab clean up for the end of the semester and tell every team that they need to have everything labeled and organized or put away or else it gets thrown away. Get at least one person from each team to come and help tidy up.
