Methods and Results

Week 11

Setting up the Project

• Selected Michael Armas as team's Project Manager.
• Added the name of of selected project manager to the Project Manager guild page and Overview pages.
• Named the team FunGals and created FunGals home page on the wiki.
• The name of the team home page was the selected team name.
• Created a link to team's page on the course Main page.
• Created a template for FunGal with useful information and links that you will invoke on all pages that you will create for the project.
• Created a category using team name and included it the FunGal template so that it is used on all pages created for the project. Also included the category "Group Projects" in the template.
• Each person needs to write a short executive summary of that person's progress on the project for the week, with links to the relevant individual journal pages (which will have more detailed information).
• Each team member should reflect on the team's progress (Note that you will be directed to add specific information to your team's pages in the individual portion of the assignment for this and future weeks):
  • What worked? What didn't work? What will I do next to fix what didn't work?
    • Michael Armas:
    • Kaitlyn Nguyen:
      • What worked this week is starting the presentation formatting early, thus allocating the rest of the time to "filling in the missing parts" of the powerpoint. What also worked this week was team communication via group-chats.
      • What didn't work this week was starting the individual assignment later, leaving less time to practicing and fully understanding the material from the journal article for the presentation in class.
      • To fix what didn't work, I will start my individual assignment much earlier, to leave the rest of the time to focus on collaborative teamwork and group assignments.
    • Emma Young:
    • Iliana Crespin: Overall, this group has been great. Everyone has worked together and understands what must be done. In addition, each member is understanding of the special circumstances before the deadline of this assignment. The only thing that didn't work out was how scattered each of us were because of all the assignments that had to be completed from other classes. In addition, mandated plans (school- or work-related) popped up which made it difficult to contribute equally. For the future, I will make sure to manage my time better, because I have work and school. Therefore, by doing a fair share of certain things before classes/work, I will be able to contribute more.
