      I changed the date of the brief VdG proposal from Feb 11 to 6. Don't worry this is a very easy assignment: it simply tells me what you are going to build. If you think you might want to use the shop during your VdG please see Brian so we can arrange with David Anderson.

      We will be forming teams for the final project very soon. We will form these assignments based on your preferences: you will be asked for preferences of people you want (or don't want) to work with as well as provide some preferences for types of projects that interest you. We have one team that self identified before classes started and came to us with a concrete proposal of the product that they would like to work on and good reasons for why they wanted to be a team. We are allowing this team to go forward in the class. If there are other teams that want to form you should approach us with a concrete suggestion of what you would like to build and why you want to be a team. We are NOT expecting or requiring that other teams form on their own. We will not make you a team if you just come and say that you are all good friends and want to be a team! See Brian if you need to.
