9 First Meeting

The workflow in the previous section is intentionally vague. You’ll want to sit down with your faculty and ‘flesh out’ the workflow to include specific information. It is important to establish a consistent meeting time, date, and place (online via Zoom?), establish communication expectations (email, how often?), and specific tasks to be completed with expected dates of completion.
Some questions to ask are:
- What is the timeline for this project?
- What sorts of materials are you looking to use? (Academic Journals, News Articles, Scientific Research, etc.)
- What do you like most about your current textbook/course?
- What do you see as missing from your current textbook/course?
- When will the project be completed?
- What are the major milestones of the project and when will that be accomplished?
- What do you need from faculty to begin?
- What will you provide to faculty?
- What will faculty be expected to complete (and when will you have that for faculty)?
- What are your expectations for communication? (how often will you be updating faculty?)
- What happens if a deadline isn’t met? (will the project be postponed to another semester? Will the project be delayed until later?)
