-Capstone does not require you to track the time you spend nor to account for how you spend your time. However, each student is expected to keep an electronic list of their contributions to the project in the [[..assignments:all_year:Individual Contribution Summary Worksheet]].  This worksheet should be regularly reviewed by the team and coach. As part of this list, your team may choose to either estimate the total hours spent on each contribution, or to track time spent each week on each contribution.  Furthermore, even if your team chooses not to track the hours spent, you can track your own hours on the list of your contributions.+Capstone does not **require** you to track the **time** you spend nor to account for how you spend your time.

 Wise students will spend part of their weekly time planning the work to be done each day, keeping written records of the results, and analyzing their accomplishments.  The combined plans and accomplishments of all team members make up the team's plans and accomplishments, which should be shared with the sponsor in a weekly status update.  Working thoughtfully and carefully in this way will help you get your work done faster and better. It will also help you get the best possible information to and feedback from your sponsor. Wise students will spend part of their weekly time planning the work to be done each day, keeping written records of the results, and analyzing their accomplishments.  The combined plans and accomplishments of all team members make up the team's plans and accomplishments, which should be shared with the sponsor in a weekly status update.  Working thoughtfully and carefully in this way will help you get your work done faster and better.
