 **Communication**: Keeping a record of communications among your team can help you, and us, in many ways. We encourage you to do at least some of the project communication in written medium (e.g., GitHub Issue Tracker) to practice how to communicate technical things in written form.

  * Note that slack is useful for quick chats while issue tracker is useful for longer-running conversations.
  * You are encouraged to use channels with a wider audience (common channel in slack, GitHub issue tracker) for module-related communication as much as possible, rather than private channels such as private slack/FB messages or direct emails. %%Rationale: more classmates can benefit from the discussions%%.
