Generate a wiki page of goals that your team aims to accomplish this semester, and delegate tasks within that list. You will probably want to work off of the list of challenges already created, although it is not necessary. This needs to be a comprehensive and detailed plan, and it needs to show what projects (big or small) the team plans to take on.
Changes to the list during the semester should be addressed in weekly meeting minutes. Together the detailed task list and the meeting minutes should be detailed enough to give Monroe a good idea of who's working on what.
A search for relavent published material should be done in an effort to guide current research proposals.
Research teams will also be expected to emphasize how they will analyze and use the data that is gathered from experiments.
The detailed task lists will be turned in as a first draft, undergo a brief editing process with Monroe, and then resubmit their final task lists on the wiki. This will be their subteam semester goals, which is worth 5% of each member's final grade. For full credit it is expected that the first draft is thoughtful and adheres to all of the guidelines above, as well as being properly formatted as per below. The second draft is meant for incorporating any suggestions for other tasks that Monroe considers pertinent.
