Each group must keep a project notebook.  Guidelines for the notebook are as follows:

1. A project notebook is a folder in an online document storage location such as Google Docs, Dropbox or OneDrive. You must give the instructor edit access to allow comments to be added to the documents you submit. The title of the folder should include the words "SYST 210" and your group number (for example, "SYST 210 Project Notebook Group 5").
   
2. The notebook must be clearly organized by deliverable, and must provide a way for the instructor to make comments on each deliverable. Your project name, group number, and group members must be clearly marked. The easiest way to do this is to have a top-level folder for your group,  and a sub-folder for each deliverable.  Each folder and each file should have your group number in the name (for example: "Group 3 Deliverable 1.docx"
3. The notebook must have a section (subfolder) for meeting minutes.  Whenever your group meets, someone must take minutes. This includes phone and online meetings.  We will discuss in class the basics of running a good meeting.  The meeting minutes should include an agenda, a description of what happened at the meeting, and a list of action items.  You will lose points if you do not keep up-to-date meeting minutes.
   
4. There must be a section (subfolder) for your consensus self and peer evaluations.  This section contains an activity log for each group member with dates indicating when each activity was performed..  It should be updated with every deliverable. A good way to do this is to keep a spreadsheet with a tab for each group member,  a column for date and a column for a description of what you did on that date.  Each group member logs his or her activities in his or her sheet. The log will contribute to your individual grade. 
   
5. There must be sections for the final report and final briefing slides.
6. You will add each deliverable to its section when it is finished.  I will make comments on what you hand in.  You must give me edit access to your deliverables so I can make comments. You may revise your deliverables in response to my comments and obtain additional comments at any time until the final project is handed in.  Please clearly mark any revisions for which you would like comments.
7. A Blackboard assignment will be posted for each deliverable. In response to the assignment, you must submit a link to your project notebook and a link to the deliverable.
   
8. All groups submit their final report on Blackboard at the end of the semester, along with softcopy of the CORE model  and the final briefing.  If you keep a hardcopy notebook, you must turn in softcopy of your CORE model, your final report, and your final briefing. You can upload this to Blackboard.
   

Professionalism counts toward your grade.  Your project notebooks should be well-organized and up to date.
