Reflecting on the project

The final deliverable for the course is a reflection. The intent is to have you and your team reflect on:

  • how your team functioned
  • how the tools worked or did not work for your team
  • how AI was useful, or useless, in the project work
  • what you would change:
    • as an individual
    • as a team
    • for future course projects (for us!)
