Guiding Principles (General code of conduct)
- Don’t be an ass. This means mutual respect, open communication, clear delegation, do your work, and being honest.
- Excellence: do the best you can do. It’s about not just doing the task, but making sure you’re giving your best effort.
Preliminary focus on purpose
- Our external stakeholders can be anyone who uses data on artwork. Researchers, faculty, students, curators, visitors, staff, artists.
- Our ultimate goal is to make a more robust spreadsheet for curators and researchers, by using qualitative data. We will use this to make a search engine function. More TBD.
- Make people care about art and how it makes them feel (revise this).
Dividing up teamwork: Group Roles
- Shared responsibility
- Equal division of work, but also flexibility
- Keep a running list of items already accomplished
- Keep a list of items to accomplish
Dividing up the task: division of labor
- Shared responsibility, shared profits. We’re not pure capitalists and bureaurocrats here.
- Delegation based on skills or skills we want to develop.
- Consideration given to pressing deadlines, exam schedules, etc.
Developing a team plan (based roughly off our syllabus)

- Citations/source material directory

Meeting management: frequency, focus, how to handle conflict
- Default once a week
- Flexible but responsible
Rewards/punishments/accountability
- Success: recognition and snack bar.
- Failure to meet commitments and non-performance: major intervention with large posters and public humiliation.
- In all actuality, we’ll talk about it.
Follow-up
- Revisit at midterms.
- Contract revision: identify what’s not working, respect dissenting voices. Worst case, escalate to supervision.
- Non-covered issues can be addressed in the group chat. If escalation is required, include Iris.
