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?

Thomas I expect to learn how to work on a project with minimal guidelines and predetermined goals.

Wouter I expect to learn how to do research in a group by creating a concept of a subject that could be used a real scientific study.

Kaj I expect to learn to develop something with a group where we only have some basic restrictions.

Daniel I do not really have that many expectations on what I should learn knowledge-wise. What I expect is to learn to work a lot more effectively in a team, as well as how to organise a project in a good way.

  • What kind of coaching do you expect?

Thomas I expect a coaching consisting of feedback mostly based around questions asked by us.

Wouter I mainly expect feedback to the things we write on the wiki page and feedback on our progress.

Kaj I expect that the coaching only consists of telling us whether we are on the right track or not.

Daniel During the coaching sessions I expect the coaches to ask for an update on how far we are in the project. Then, they can gave their opinion / suggestions etc., which we may or may not incorporate into the project.

  • What kind of coaching would you prefer?

Thomas I would prefer a kind of coaching with weekly feedback based on what was done that week as well as some possible tips on how to continue said work. And ofcourse the having our questions answered.

Wouter Answers to all the questions that we encounter during our research and someone who tells us whether we are on the right track or not.

Kaj I prefere tutors that tell us when we are on the right track or not.

Daniel I would prefer the kind of coaching where we can ask for their input once a week during the coaching sessions. With input I mean that they can give feedback on what we are doing.

  • What will the coaches expect of you?

Thomas I think the coaches will expect a lot of initiative and autonomy of us.

Wouter To ask all the questions we have and to inform them about our progress.

Casper I expect to learn how to work on a project without any guidelines, in previous DBLs or project there were always guidelines or rubrics showing what you could do to earn more points or how you should handle your project. This time it is all on yourself to decide so it will be a very new experience. I expect the coach to mainly keep the group on track to keep our focus on robots and to tell us when we have to dig deeper for our project or to tell us to actually make something concrete. I prefer to have a coach who we can just ask questions when we are unsure of what to do and that they disturb us as little as possible with for example weekly mandatory meetings. I assume the coaches expect of us to mainly keep telling them how we are progressing every week and to deliver a good project.

Kaj I think that the coaches expect from us that we finish our homework/the wiki on time and that we honour existing commitments. Also, I think that the tutors like a high commitment for the project.

Daniel I believe that they expect some form of strictness in following what they believe to be a good way of doing a project.
