RE: CTC and Lego plots |
Your goals for today:
- Match corresponding CTC and Lego plots to one another. You will
need to obtain these plots from your local Project Manager. All of the
plots go together, but your project manager has divided them into three
sets to help make your job simpler. The three sets go from easy to hard,
so use the easy ones to really think about what you're doing so that
you're
ready for the hard ones. Info on and
graphical display of
relationship between plots. After you have paired the plots, demonstrate
that your matches are correct by matching Lego plot towers with their CTC
plot tracks.
- Classify the plots by sorting them into groups based on
similarities. Ideas on how to do this from CDF event
page.
- After you have sorted the first three sets of plots, return to
your Project Manager for new plots and classify them based on your
existing
groups. Do these new plots make you feel more confident, or less
confident
in your classification scheme? If less, see if you can come up with a
better scheme.
- When you feel confident in your classification scheme, put it on
paper. For each group, write down one or two characteristics of a plot
that let you know that the plot belongs to that group.
- When you have your scheme on paper, notify your Project Manager,
who will let you know how to share your results. Be prepared to consult
and compare classification schemes with other groups. How are your schemes
similar? How are they different? Is one more effective than the other? Is
one easier to use than the other? What else do you notice about the two
schemes?
Be certain that you understand exactly what will be required of you
before you begin this project. If you have any questions, contact your
local Project Manager. Thanks for your work. We're counting on you!
