\section{Innovations in AST 208}
\subsection{Collaborative work}
Throughout the semester, students work in teams of 3--4. These teams, which persist throughout the semester, are assigned during the second week based on responses to an online questionnaire (\catme).
Collaborations with your classmates is a critical facet of AST 208 lab. Throughout the semester, you will work in teams of 3--4 people. These teams, which will persist throughout the semester, will be assigned during the second week based on your response to an online questionnaire (\catme). Of
your the lab grade,
85\% will be determined by your write-ups to the labs, and 15\%
will be is determined via peer and self assessment
(on \catme) on \catme\ and by
your participation (as observed
in lab by
Prof.\ Chomiuk and the
TAs). Regular thought questions will be given in lab that will require group discussion; these will contribute to the participation portion of your grade.
You will occasionally instructor). The students periodically receive a link to a \catme\ peer evaluation form,
where you will in which they assess
your own and teammates' their team's work on recent labs.
Your answers will remain anonymous (although everyone will receive general feedback on how their group thinks they are performing). Please do your best to be honest, and contact Prof.\ Chomiuk if you have questions or concerns (or fill out the comment box at the end of the \catme\ evaluation). The goals of this peer assessment are 1) to stress the importance of being a patient, generous, and hard-working collaborator; 2) to think critically about one's own work and to measure that work against one's own expectations; and 3) to encourage all team members to contribute equally.
