During the Session:
-
Prepend your group number to your Zoom name. You can change your Zoom display name by going to Participants -> Find your name and hover over it -> Click on More -> Rename.
- Example: if Caren was in group 1: she would rename herself as 1 - Caren Chang
-
After the lecture, students will be grouped and placed into breakout rooms.
-
Switch your microphone and video on when you are in your breakout rooms for easier collaboration.
How do I join the breakout room?
-
We set up Zoom so you will be automatically routed to your breakout rooms.
-
If in case you weren’t routed to your room, the host will need to invite you to join the room.
-
Click Join.
-
If you missed this prompt, click on the Breakout rooms button at the bottom of the window.
I need help while in a breakout room
- You can get help by clicking on “Ask for help”.
Why are my other groupmates not in the breakout room?
- It’s most likely due to either of these reasons:
- They are not attending the session today.
- They got disconnected and need to be assigned to your breakout room.
- They have been assigned, but have not clicked on the Join breakout room button.
Our TA is absent. What do we do?
- We encourage you to continue to work on the task and discuss the problems amongst yourselves.
- Click on the “Ask for help” button if you are stuck and need help.
How do I know if it’s time to leave my breakout room?
- An announcement will be made when groups are being called back into the lobby for a wrap-up.
