[nfbcs] Best techniques for group computer science projects

[Suzanne Germano]

We should learn real world since that is the end goal. I think the projets
should be able to be separated and each person works on their part and you
come together to get everything to work together. Throughout you provide
each other with what parameters your methods need etc.
