Collaborate with student teams on communication protocols and status updates. Students are not used to working with working adults, so you’ll need to set protocols about how they can and should reach you. Additionally, you will want to tell them how you want status updates. Status updates from teams should occur
prior to the face-to-face meetings, so your face-to-face time is used efficiently. Status updates can come in the form of emails, a shared document, or whatever method you like. The purpose is to ensure that you have the necessary understanding of where students are prior to the face-to-face meetings.
