What are the team’s expectations of quality level? Top goals? Minimum acceptable goals?

Quality level means to meet all of the requirements in the rubric,  have put sufficient time into the task, and to give the best effort. A top goal for the team is to complete all assignments a day before they are due to allow time for one team member to check over the work. Minimum acceptable goals is to meet all of the requirements on the rubric and to submit the assignment on time.

 We will meet at least once every week for the duration of this project in order to keep on track for completing this project. We expect that we will have to meet more frequently towards the end of the semester as the deadline gets closer.
