Coaching Questions Group 6

To help your group and the teachers prepare for the tutor meetings, we would like you to answer a few questions in between sessions. The following paragraphs list the questions for each of the weeks, please write you answers directly underneath the questions.

After the kick-off - Week 1

• What are you expecting to learn during the Robots course?
  • How to come up with a project from scratch in a team with broad experiences in differing fields, and plan this in such a way that there is a satisfying end-result at the end of a set amount of weeks.
  • Increasing communicative skills as well as some extra presentation experience.

• What kind of coaching do you expect?
  • Weekly monday-meetings with a tutor whose goal is to guide us through some of our discussions and highlight which of our ideas might be better than others.
  • Tutor's job it not to do our work, but merely to guide our effort in the right direction and prevent us from getting lost during the project.

• What kind of coaching would you prefer?
  • Actually, this kind of coaching should be just fine. It stimulates to put in effort, considering the tutor will prefer the team to exercise a dominant role in the weekly meetings. If the team manages to do so, their effort will be sufficient and thus their grade will be as well.

• What will the coaches expect of you?
  • To actually put in effort every single week, which makes sense.
  • Discuss ideas and other material among the team before presenting it to the tutor.
  • Be on time. Exceptions may occur in case of NS malfunctions.
