Re: Limits on Team Hours
Having a cap known to all up front has an advantage in resource planning. The team won't be able to assume that a few ultra dedicated members are going to save the day by dedicating their lives and grades to the effort. If you know the cavalry isn't going to come, you teach everyone how to ride a horse and shoot a gun.
Just monitoring semester grades isn't enough. Since the build season is only six weeks, the effects of weeks of minimal sleep and sloppy homework might not be apparent until you're well into the build season. There's no mechanism at most schools to officially report grade drops over such a short period of time. It would have to be up to the teachers to feed back individual assignment results in some sort informal manner.
