(cross-posting to both sub team lists) Hi folks, I spent about 4 hours today attempting the sub team homework assignments for this week (tomorrow), and have only gone through the first four (of the twelve) source documents, to try to cross-reference relevant data against the charter questions. I spoke with a couple of other very active sub team members who are also concerned about the workload for this week. Perhaps different members have different expectations on the amount of outside time expected to be devoted between calls, but for myself, 4 hours is already pushing things (it typically took me around that much time for the past homework assignments too). I think we need to discuss breaking the tasks down into more bite-sized pieces, as there was just too much to review for this week. I know staff has already attempted to pick out relevant data for each charter question, but it wouldn't be a "review" if we as sub team members didn't read the source documents ourselves independently, and simply relied on what staff provided. Also, it might have been easier to do the review if staff input was in the (currently) blank Google docs, rather than in the spreadsheet tabs, as even on a 27" monitor, it was difficult to compare their input with my own as I was reading the various source documents, and tried to switch multiple tabs/documents. If others share these concerns, please do take a moment to comment or provide suggestions on ideal expected duration of assignments (in hours), technical impediments, etc. Sincerely, George Kirikos 416-588-0269 http://www.leap.com/
