Stat 157 Participation Guidelines

Participation with your Classmates

Here are some considerations for how to become a successful team in this course.

Please read: http://goo.gl/vsEk2U

  1. Before evaluating a member's contribution, others check their assumptions to ensure they have properly understood.

  2. Each person speaks on his or her own behalf and lets others speak for themselves.

  3. When the group is not working well together it devotes time to finding out why and makes the necessary adjustments.

  4. Conflict [and misunderstanding] is inevitable but will be managed and dealt with positively.

Consider (1) what is the misunderstanding of the situation and (2) what are the options to resolve it, before consulting the instructor or GSI.

Do not fall behind. Do not let your teammates fall behind. Keep each other accountable.

It is essential that you work as a group and keep each member on the same page before moving onto the next step in an assignment so that no one is left behind. You are expected to identify the roadblocks, announce your struggle early, consider the options, try to solve the problem, and ask for help if the options you've tried don't work.

Participating in the Open Source Community

In this course you will regularly participate in the Open Source community by reading blogs, asking (and answering) questions in forums such as StackOverflow, IRC, and project mailing lists. You will be expected to learn the rules (both written and unwritten) that exist in these communities when asking for help and when participating

Participating with Scientists and Researchers

In the course of your work in this class you may interact with scientists and researchers, both here at Cal, as well as across the world. You are expected to conduct yourself with professional and to be mindful and respect the time and involvement with your collaborators.

Participating with the Public

Because everything we're doing is out in the open it's possible you may engage with members of public, either as passive onlookers or actively engaging. Please make your GSIs and Instructors aware of your interactions with other people and report any harassment immediately.
