Reflection Outline
April 6, 2009
Collaborative work vs. individual work
coming up with topic – may not always like it when working in a group, would not have decided on scholarly article
We all tried to do our own thing as much as possible but talked to eachother on matters of importance
Burden of work wasn’t all on one person, had other people to review your work
Hard when people not do their work or not do it in accordance with others, what do you say to them?
Some times hard to get in touch with each other, but technology helped greatly – we were able to e-mail research to each other
Technology
strengths – everyone work on it at once from anywhere, use gchat to talk while working on it, see who else is working on it, revision history
weaknesses – gets slow, things get deleted and lost, hard to maneuver (keeps refreshing self)
Guidance from instructor
Needed more guidance on MLA, what isn’t consistent, what needs to be covered better – a lot of us haven’t written research papers in a while
instructor = project manager, project needs a project manager to organize things whether it is the instructor or not – writers vs. editors
