This timeline will guide you through the different stages of your project. Please make sure that you cover all steps to avoid last-minute surprises.
Before next session, decide who you’re going to team up with for the project and start brainstorming ideas and themes. Don’t restrict yourselves to one idea straight away; consider a few possibilities and evaluate the feasibility of each option before you decide to discard or keep it.
By now you should know who your teammates are going to be on this project. By next session, you should have made a decision on what your company is going to be like.
By now you should have finalized your choice of company for your project.
You need to choose the product(s) you will be selling and the roles of team members within the company.
Now you need to decide on how you are going to share the work within the group. Then you can all start drafting your documents:
By now you should have all started writing your parts. If you haven’t done so already, you should schedule a group meeting so that you can see where everybody is at.
Schedule another group meeting to make sure everybody is on track.
By now you should have almost finished writing. You need to schedule a group meeting to make sure you are all on track.
You also need to start the editing process: Re-read each other’s work, suggest improvements or changes, and then once you are all comfortable with the content, put everything together, making sure the formatting is consistent throughout and the information logical. Then look at the end result critically and make any necessary adjustments.
Keep an eye out for content that is plagiarized, whether consciously or not, as this will be severely penalized and you are all responsible for the entire project.
By now the project should be ready, or very close to ready. You should start discussing the oral presentation. Agree on the outline of your presentation and divide up the work.
When you arrive for the in-class prep session next time, you should bring the drafts of your presentation with you to class, along with a list of questions for your teacher.
In-class preparation.
