TECH 3733 Fall 2012 Team Project The class will be divided into four teams of five students each; assuming the class size is 20, otherwise the team sizes may be greater than five. Each team will be responsible for creating four glossaries of lean terms. There will be seven terms in each glossary. Terms will be the same for each team and I will provide them. Each glossary will be worth 50 points, for a total of 200 points for the project. A list of terms will be provided in weeks 1, 5, 8, & 11. The glossaries are due in weeks 5, 8, 11, & 14. With that schedule the teams have four weeks to organize, research, and post the first glossary and three weeks to research and post the remaining three glossaries. A late submission of any glossary is an automatic 50% deduction in points for the team for that glossary, and an incomplete glossary is an automatic 25% reduction in points for the team for that glossary. All glossaries will be posted to a provided Wiki (NSUBATech.wikispaces.com) on Wikispaces. Information on the Wiki will be provided week 1. Guidelines for glossary posting are: 1) The definition for each term must include at least four of the following: a) An embedded text definition b) An URL to Wikipedia c) A blog discussing the term, how the concept is applied, or results achieved through application d) A Podcast – audio discussing the term, how the concept is applied, or results achieved through application e) A Podcast – Video discussing the term, how the concept is applied, or results achieved through application f) A video from YouTube g) A video from EduTube ( [|www.edutube.org] h) A video from Gemba ([|www.gemba.com] or other Internet source specific to Lean i) A written summary (60 to 100 words) and embedded link to the article, of a journal article that describes the term or concept; your NSU Library is a source for these articles, contact the Librarian if you need help on how to search articles j) A short (no more than ten slides) with voice enhancement (you may use PowerPoint’s own voice enhancement) 2) Each team member shall place at the beginning of their contribution for each term defined **[Posted by first name, last name]**. Be sure to use the [ ] and enclose your name within the [ ]. 3) Teams should avoid using the same material when possible. The goal is to find many unique sources of information for each term. So each team may have a link to a video, a Blog, and a Podcast for a term, but try to avoid duplications.


 * Individual grades** for each glossary are based on: (1) **individual contributions** to the glossary, (2) the overall appearance, quality, and effectiveness of the team’s glossary, (3) my evaluation of your contribution. My evaluation will be based on the actual changes you make to the Wiki/glossary as detailed by your change history. Each glossary is worth 50 points.

Each student is expected to comment on the glossaries of at least two other teams each assignment period. These comments will be posted in the Blackboard Discussion Board. The comment must be specific, provide additional detail, or link to additional information; simply stating “this is good” “I like this”, or “I agree” will be considered as ‘No comment’. The comments must be made within two weeks of the referenced assignment period. Comments will be graded according to the rubric provided in this week 0 module.

Each team member will be required to evaluate the participation and input of their team members at the conclusion of each assignment period. This requires each student to evaluate her/his team members for each glossary. The evaluation for team members will be as a Blackboard assignment to maintain integrity and confidentiality. The evaluation form we will use is provided in this week 0 module, and will be provided again in the week each glossary is due. I expect the evaluations to be returned no later than the next week. Failure to evaluate your team members’ participation will reduce your grade for the team project, for that week, by 25%.

** TECH 3733 Fall 09 Team Contribution Form ** This form will be used for you to evaluate the participation and input of your team members. The information on this form will remain confidential and will be submitted to me via email. This will be our only opportunity to reward the members of your team that worked hard on your behalf. Assign ratings honestly that reflect how you really feel about the extent to which the other members of the team contributed to your learning and the team’s performance. **If you give everyone pretty much the same rating, be sure that is what you mean; otherwise you are hurting those who did the most and helping those that did the least.** **You do not rate yourself.**
