Words of Caution
BACK-UP YOUR FILES. We had multiple people backing up all the dropbox.com files every week from week 1 and this saved our butts more than once.
HONESTY. Don't lie to yourself or your team about your skills or your availability.
NO EXCUSES. Own up to your mistakes when you make them. Just apologize and amend it. Nobody wants to hear why you missed your deadline, they only care that you missed it and the production is suffering because of it. If you know you're going to miss a deadline, give everyone a heads-up ahead of walking into class and being late.
BE AVAILABLE: not necessarily as in "drop everything when the team requests it" but make sure you have at least 2 forms of communication that people can use to give you feedback or changes that you will receive AND ANSWER in an efficient fashion.
