1. Team Work Lec #2

2. Motivaton Most system software and large application requiring many thousands to hundreds of thousands of lines of code – These are clearly beyond the scope of a single hot- shot programmer – Time to market Once employed as a programmer, you will rarely work independently on a project again. – Professional programmers spend more time in design meetings, in code walk-throughs, communicating with other programmers and users

3. Foundation Respect each other Fostering Synergies – learn from one another – different members of the team excel at different tasks – Match personnel with their skill set – everyone must get a turn leading the writing for a programmer's guide, user's guide or implementation.

My teammate is a coding \whiz-kid" and has decided to simply do it all by them self. – The “whiz-kid” will have their lab grade reduced. Two of my teammates are long time buddies and they do everything together What is differential grading? How can we avoid it and should we?
