Hi folks, the second teamwork reflection, and milestone 2, should be up on canvas now.
Week 03 Announcements
Sunday Announcements
This Wednesday will be your Milestone 1 presentations!
Each group gets at most 8 minutes for presenting, plus 3-5 minutes for questions.
Your presentation should cover what your group has done so far, including your Milestone 1 work. You should have the design more or less figured out.
We haven’t talked about accessible presentation practices yet, so we won’t be grading that; don’t worry about competency scores for this presentation.
All the project mentors will be present! Your peers and the other mentors will ask questions / offer suggestions during Q&A.
Excited to see everyone’s presentations on Wednesday!
Sunday Announcements (Group Check-ins)
Hi everyone! Tomorrow in class, Jen and I will be meeting with each group one at a time for about 10 minutes each. (We’ll try to both meet with you together, but if we’re short on time we’ll split up and meet two groups separately.) I’ll be there in person with all of you in MGH 058; Jen will be calling in on Zoom.
Please come prepared to tell us about your progress on Milestone 1, and this is also an opportunity to ask us any questions about your projects, such as project scope, last minute clarifications for Milestone 1 stuff that is technically due tomorrow but you have a 2-day grace period, presentations on Wednesday, etc.

Week 02 Announcements
Thursday Announcements
We’ve just made some changes to the assignment due on Monday on first person accounts. It’s now simpler and shorter, and you should be able to fill all of it out based on what we’ve gone over in class so far. We haven’t talked about disability justice yet, so that analysis will come later.
There are a couple other parts of the course website that have been updated regarding grading; we haven’t talked about grading in class yet either, but Jen will go over all of it on Monday.
[Edit: you currently can’t see your scores for this; we’re trying to fix the answer key] We made a minor mistake in the answer key for a couple of the quickchecks’ checkbox questions, so we added comments to clarify the ones that were automatically graded with the wrong answer. Your numerical score on the quickchecks doesn’t count towards your grade at all, so it’s not going to impact anyone’s GPA. So sorry if this was confusing; you might want to take a second look at your quickcheck before doing your first person accounts assignment.
Gitlab permissions have been updated so that everyone should be able to merge pull requests. If anyone is still having trouble with this, please let me know and I’ll double check that your permissions are correct.
Your group’s public project webpage may not work at the moment because for some odd reason the pipelines aren’t consistently generating the right link. If you can’t access the page, don’t panic – we’re working on this with CSE Support right now.
Next week’s readings (two articles about disability justice principles) are posted on the course website!
