Half model Plug

The Lotus 9.2 M half model work is back on track with all students sharing (in teams) the 5 suitable timber hull forms shaped by Tobias, Ben, Adam, Stephan and Tiger.

We brainstormed and negotiated, as a full class, the processes we need to consider to enable us to complete our goal of building fibreglass half models for each student.
Notes to this brainstorming session are saved on the student H:/drive under 2011 CAT theory notes (FRP folder)

Breaking into small groups (Lead by student's named above) students where able to take responsibility for specific tasks.
These task outcomes build to make a complete outcome.
These tasks and the conversations around them are to be recorded within the small groups Googledocs shared between each other and with tutors. (Both Brett and Richard as a minimum)

Each Wednesday morning the two classes will collaboratively work on the FRP outcomes inherent in these activities.

The following URL addresses are links to the 5 student group Googledocs.

  1. personaly i find that the google docs for this are not being used (at least not my group) because we only work on it once per week there is no real need to use it outside of uni, and because we hardly ever use it, when we are at uni it is much easier to just do the planning on paper, or verbally. however it would probably be more useful on a more full on project.

  2. Fair comment.
    Where have you got to comment to one another outside Unitec?
    Better to have a resource and underutilize, it than not have the resource at all?
    You could post evidence of the paper sketch, brainstorming ,listing, etc.. using photos as evidence into the google doc
