Coaching Questions Group 18
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?
Our expectations for this course are to expand our knowledge of the user, society and enterprise issues that surround robotics. We don't expect to fully produce the product which will be manufacturable but to learn about the process that has to be taken in order to reach that state. Learn about whether a product would be worth making depending on the market and on how beneficial and useful it is for our users. Furthermore, we have to investigate the ethical impact of the robotic device and how and why it might not be easy to bring it forward. Since this group is an OGO we expect to further our cooperation skills as well as learn from each other's experiences in the various domains.
- What kind of coaching do you expect?
The coaching will be more of a general guidance and feedback session, which will let us know if we are completely off the track. It will not be telling us exactly what to do and when to have it done by.
- What kind of coaching would you prefer?
We would like the coaches to let us know when we are going severely off topic, but not to intervene in all the work we do.
- What will the coaches expect of you?
The coaches expect to be updated on the current state of our work, the issues we encounter and various interesting findings we encounter.
After the first tutor meeting - Week 2
- What is the most interesting thing you learned in the coaching meeting of the previous week and why?
What we were focussing on were robotic ideas that were innovative and sounded interested, however, we were then told that an important criterion for our idea was that it should solve a problem, and although some of our ideas did, they weren't particularly problem centred.
- How did you incorporate coaches' feedback of the previous meeting in your project?
We therefore, came up with 5 new ideas that would help people in various ways and elaborated on how they would help them.
