Start with a standup

Each team member should make a standup update on slack, and in person (or over zoom)

Then work on finishing up team03.

Team03 deadline

The goal is to finish submission of team03 by midnight Friday 11/10 (note that Friday 11/10 is a University Holiday).

There is a “grace period” until midnight Monday 11/13.

However, that second deadline is strict; we must pivot to the legacy code projects (especially since we lose most of week 8 to Thanksgiving).

My hope is that your team doesn’t experience any grief related to team03, that you finish it before Monday 11/13 11:59pm.

But if your team still has unfinished work by then, you need to just submit what you have and hope for the best partial credit you can get.

That may lead some of you to the five stages of grief described by Kubler-Ross:

Denial: just continuing to work on team03 and ask for help with team03 even though the class has moved on
Anger: expressions of disbelief that we aren’t giving you more time, lashing out at team members, TAs, LAs, the instructor, the Chancellor, the Regents, etc.
Bargaining: saying that you’ll do this or that, if only we give you one more day on team03
Depression: just wanting to give up on the whole class
Acceptance: realizing that the legacy code project is 25% of your grade, while team03 is probably around 4% of your grade, and that it would be better to shift your energies.

This last point is the one I want to stress: 25% is much, much bigger than 4%.

Stealing time from the assignment worth 25% of your grade to focus on the one worth 4% of your grade is a bad plan.
So, let’s try not to end up there.
