Our Project Name: Archived Carleton Student Life (acsl)
What are your shared values? Shared goals?
As a group, we want our final project to be accessible and comprehensive. We want to create a DH project that looks clean and is clearly rooted in its purpose of accurately representing Carleton student life over time. With each other, we hope to work hard, collaborate, and have fun.
What will you expect from each other?
As group members, we expect each other to be honest, and communicate openly to one another. We expect each other to balance having fun and meeting our deliverables to respect our time and create a final project that we are proud of. We expect our team atmosphere to be equitable and cooperative. We also expect unconditional love. Because yes.
How will you communicate?
We will communicate with each other mainly in person, but we also will make sure we keep in contact via group chat. We expect each other to communicate openly and with kindness. We may talk about it during the Wicked sing along. Aaaa-aa-aa-aah- ah-aaa-aaaah!!
How will your team handle disagreement?
If our team disagrees, we must attack the idea, not the person. We will politely disagree while also being open to changing our minds. To do this, we must respect each other and our ideas so there is a healthy and democratic dialogue.
How will you divide responsibilities? Is someone responsible for calling meetings? Cleaning data? Assess and share your own strengths and weaknesses
For our first step, we will all be putting archived images and metadata into a spreadsheet. Each of us will complete 50 entries from our archive source. We will meet to create a map altogether using ArcGIS and write our blog and lab posts. We have decided that, as a group, we will all be responsible for calling meetings.
Trixie: As a teammate, my strengths include my punctuality, my commitment to doing honest and good work, my enjoyment of tedious tasks, my problem-solving mindset, and my attention to detail. One major weakness that I have is that I can be stubborn, but I will make sure to be open to my teammates’ ideas and make compromises with my group.
Mya: As a teammate, my strengths include doing tedious tasks and trouble shooting problems. I am very reciprocative of others’ ideas and love communicating to find the best way to go about things. One of my weaknesses is that I do not always speak my mind and share my ideas, and I tend to get frustrated when I do not understand how to do something. However, I think our collaboration will outweigh any weaknesses.
Sylvie: As a teammate, my strengths include my respect for my teammates, my hard work, and my time management. Throughout this project, I hope to improve on my burn out (getting enough rest and balance), my listening skills, and practicing being open to making compromises and changing direction to where we, as a group, want to go.
