Team Assignments/Commenting when Teammates haven't posted.

Today we did team allocations.  I heard back from most teams that were assigned.  When I've heard from all I will post the results in Moodle.  (Update, they are posted now.) That will include team name and the alias economist for each team member.

All teams that have been allocated have 3 team members.  The obligation is to comment on the posts of your teammates before the next class on Tuesday, as long as your teammates have made their posts at a reasonable time.  I'm going to leave it to each team to determine what the means.

However, there needs to be a fallback in case a teammate doesn't make a post in time.  You are then free to comment on the post of some other student in the class.  The obligation is to make two such comments each week.

We currently have four students who weren't allocated to any team.  Their choices would seem to be either to have one big team, with all four of them, or two teams of two students each.  If you are one of those students who weren't there today and you have not yet received and email from me allocating you to a team, please let me know what your preference is.

Note that eventually each team will have a course project to do and that for the project (but not for the comments on the blog posts) each team member will get the same number of points allocated.
