I currently have mixed feelings about our project. Some people have a concrete feeling of what they need to do. Therefore, those people are really getting excited and getting lots of stuff done for their area. (James is giving Anthony some good competition for MVP ;~) ). I am having trouble keeping up with these people, myself. Other people, however, may have no idea what they are supposed to be doing or are doing things that conflict with the rest of the group. The communication right now seems to be restricted to our in-class meetings, which is awful. This is especially true when a member of our group is not present when we go over something . Either this person could be not there to correct something that is incorrect or does not participate in a collaborative discussion and has the complete wrong direction on the topic from everyone else. And, it seems that there is always at least one person who is not present.
So, it important for everyone to start showing up all the time. This is an important project that is supposed to transition us into the harshness of the real world. We also need to open up lines of communication other than our class meetings, especially if one member is not present. We need to fill that member in on our discussions so that there are absolutely no discrepancies, which I am seeing a lot of right now. I'm not sure if everyone reads each others' blog entries when one goes to post. This would help to see how members' perspectives on things to see if they match up.
