Deadline Reminder!
Hej!
This is just a reminder about the deadline this SUNDAY just before MIDNIGHT. It's really important that you hand in this assignment on time. Upload your groups draft report to file area 'Global to Local Project - Draft Report'.
The course coordinators will distribute the draft reports and contact information to the opponent groups. Each group has until the end of the week to review the draft report and to write and send the feedback.
In your feedback focus on the quality of the background information and analysis, as well as on the solution provided (Is the description clear? Is it complete? Does the solution actually address the sustainability challenge? Etc.). Also provide feedback regarding the structure and format of the report.
Send your feedback to the group before SUNDAY 23rd November at 23:59 (please include gcsf@csduppsala.uu.se in Cc).
The course coordinators will also review the draft reports and provide feedback.
The last three weeks of the project each group has time to work on the feedback received and to finalize the report.
Good Luck!
New Schedule Available – Changes to Progression Meetings Times
All,
Thanks for showing up this morning, a clerical error has meant that the schedule wasn't updated to reflect the latest times for the progressions meetings (today and on the 18th). The new schedule now uploaded shows that the Progression Meetings are held on Tuesday mornings, individual group times will be posted again nearer the second Progression Meeting.
Appologies for any confusion.

- Progression Meeting 1: Tuesday 4th November at 09-12
- Progression Meeting 2: Tuesday 18th November at 09-12
... once we have a room confirmed we'll update the schedule to reflect these changes.
Also available are the make-up assignments for those that have missed various seminars and workshops. They are:

Each make-up assignment has their own instructions with differing deadlines so please read them carefully. These make-up assignments need to be completed as they are part of the examination for the course. We've emailed those that need to complete the 'Three Strikes' Make-up Assignment. If you are unsure of whether you need to complete either or both of the 'Common Cause' and/or the 'Group Dynamics' let us know and we will confirm/deny.
