Time

This is the most important resource of all. Even given the best team members and the best tools, a team still need time to complete a project. Although EEC194 is listed as a 5-unit, 3-quarter class, the actual requirement exceeds the units.

1 unit of lab translates to 3 hours of actual lab time. 1 unit of lecture translates to 1 hour of lecture and 2 hours of preparation and homework. In other words, you should spend something like 6 hours on the Micromouse projects every week for the Fall and Spring quarters.

I understand you are taking other classes as well. However, if the team is to get the project done, each member must allocate sufficient time for the Micromouse project.

In order to aide the allocation of time, a team should have a fixed weekly meeting time or several fixed sessions. All members of a team should attend the meetings as well as the lectures and labs. Since the lecture/lab will take about 2 hours per week, each team should allocate somewhere between 2 to 4 hours for team meetings.
