This week has been a test of patience. Our team has spent all week trying to figure out the root cause of out problem, amongst scheduling time to meet as members of the group are very busy. I have learned that we work much better together than individually. Group unity is a strength that we possess, and it should be a great asset to us as we finish up the term. The worst part about this week is the progress on the actual proposal final. We have spent much time brainstorming and figuring out our new direction, but not very much of that has been spent putting words on the page. Granted, we have a whole first draft to pull from, but it is quite incomplete when compared to the expectation of our final draft. Ron continues to stretch our minds in how we analyze a situation. He plays the devil’s advocate of every detail known to man… I would say the most critical professor I’ve had yet. This is great for innovating for the project, but not conducive to motivating team members. Yet another week filled with new problems, we come just that much closer to the end.
