Dear ROV Students,
Welcome! I am looking forward to working with all of you. In this class, you will learn technical writing along with the other students. However, your work will focus on the technical report required for the MATE competition.
How Will My Work Differ from Other Students in the Class?
Some weeks, your work will be exactly the same as the other students in the class.
Some weeks you will have unique ROV-related assignments.
Sometimes you will be held by the same late policy (up to one week late with no penalty).
Sometimes your deadlines will be more flexible.
Instructions and clarification will be listed under the robot icon. At the beginning of each week, click the robot icon to find out what you need to do for the class.
How Will I Be Graded?
I will assess grades holistically. That means that at I will look at all the work you did over the course of the term (and your team mates assessment of your performance) and assign a grade based, not on points, but on my overall impression of your participation.
However, I will use the following grade book to loosely determine grades: ROV grade book. To earn an A, you must attend all/almost all team meetings. You must complete all assignments, including quizzes and forum posts.
Where Do I Start?
Your first assignment for WR227 is to fill out this Doodle poll to see when we can all meet to discuss the project.
