Update "common" wiki pages used by team members that give current information about team structure, i.e. the Research and Design Team pages.

• These pages contain info about which sub-teams are operational each semester and some general comments on what work the teams are focusing on

Website Updating

Make sure the AguaClara google website is up to dateNote that if there is a Wiki Organizing team, this will be their responsibility. It is a good idea to keep in touch with this person (or team) to make sure that you are on the same page as to what's required for the wiki pages of each team.

Class Wiki Updating

This is still the responsibility of the team lead, even if there is a Wiki Organizing team

Create a new team member list to become a child page of the Team Roster and Alumni page. This template is the Fall of 2016 roster, but names and teams can be updated on the 'input' tab and the wiki markup code will be automatically generated so you don't have to create the table yourself. Be sure to make the columns sortable - take the first line from the wiki markup of a previous semester's roster to do so.

Create a new syllabus as a child of syllabi Syllabi. Work out a general pattern for it by reviewing past syllabi . Work with Monroe to have a syllabus ready to hand out in the first day of class. Try to have a good balance of team work days and "activity" days such as speakers, forums, teach ins, etc(Fall 2016 Syllabus can be used as a template if you want). Before the start of the semester, have a complete syllabus worked out. This includes scheduling of assignments, symposiums, and final presentations.

Make sure the Team Challenges for the semester are compiled and Monroe is happy with them. We send all team members a link to the challenges so they can get a better idea of what projects are available for the semester--they really shape the way teams plan their semesters!

Check the assignments Assignments page to make sure each assignment has all the correct information on grading and expectations that you and Monroe agree on. These assignments evolve every year based on our experiences the previous semester.

We use a series of surveys throughout the year. They are all located on the aguaclaraadmin gmail accountAguaClara Leadership Google Drive folder. To access them, log in with the username and password (ask the old team leader for it and DO NOT share it with students) and go to Documents in the top left cornergo to the proper semester's folder and look for evaluation forms. There are a bunch of docs on the account, so please try to keep them organized. Most of the surveys need to be updated each year so they have the correct subteam leader's name, correct active teams, etc listed.

You may want to place a brief announcement in the Sundial, DPE Newsletter, etc to catch any last minute additions to the class by the time they get back to campus. We have a blurb already written up here but you may want Be sure to also add the time and place of the first class so people are less likely to miss it. Consult with Monroe to see if this is necessary since the class size has become very large recently and we may not need to recruit more students.

Team Planning

Sit down with Monroe and discuss which teams you plan on having active this semester. Some times we put certain projects on hold in favor of emphasizing others and it is good for planning teams if you know before classes start approximately which teams you want to run. This should be done after you have the enrollment total for the class- be sure to ask Monroe for the course roster that he gets from the department.
