FIT Team

I am amazed at how well our group worked together to complete our assignment. When I was originally added to the group I was somewhat concerned because they had already met and assigned roles between the three of them. They also had discussed some problems with communication and issues they had with the instructor of the class we were observing. So I came in, late to the game, hearing not so happy experiences. However, we met; we reassigned responsibilities and figured out how to work together. It was nice to talk to others who were experiencing the same problems, frustrations, load of email, new experiences, and new strategies. We set up (or asked Dr. Zhang to set up) a group page for us within our Blackboard site and used this to send email and exchange files. We put up individual documents for each of our goals (new activities, modifications to the current assignments, intro, course overview, etc.), a few drafts of our final paper, and drafts of our presentation in PowerPoint. We used the file exchange to share and update the document. Additionally, we met a few times on our breaks and sent a few email. We talked whenever we had a chance (before and after class) or whenever any of us had specific questions or issues. It was good to have a little time in class last week to meet and finalize the presentation – who will be leading, who will be talking about each specific part, etc. Overall, I would have to say that this is the smoothest a group has run in awhile. Each of the ladies worked hard and added to each part of the document, checked over the final document, included resources and made sure there were no errors. Thank you for assigning me to a great, flexible group.
