Google Doc for Group Formation

Hi Class,

As promised, here's the google doc to facilitate group formation. Pls click on the link below:
Google Doc link.

The final registrant lists are here. We have 56, 68 and 57 folk registered in sections A,B,C respectively, and 66 in Sec D. That means we will have 8 groups exactly in sec A, 9 in section B, 8 in sec C and 9 in Sec D - i.e., 34 groups in all considering on an average 7 people in a group.

Pls reach out to other folk within your sections and form groups. If you're unable to get a group by the start of lecture 3, I will randomly assign you to a group - end of discussion.

Added later:
Ideally each group should have 7 members only. However, 6-8 people in a group is fine as well. This is based on feedback I am getting from folk in the class.

Kindly choose names for your groups. Last year we had folks choose names from among India's numerous small towns and everything from Shahjehanpur to Shillong and Agartala to Ajmer got chosen. This year, I'm asking you to pick names of characters from the Epics - the native Indian classics such as the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Abhigyan Shakuntalam would be an awesome choice IMHO. Else the testaments, the Greek classics or the Bible could also be also possible sources, perhaps. Be creative and let's start off on a light footing.

Pls choose *unique* names for your groups. No 2 groups can share the same name. Also, first come, first serve - Groups that choose a name first, get to keep it.

P.S.
Shall upload a homework based on the AC Nielsen beer dataset that was putup on blackboard for lec 2.

More later.
