Week Of: April 11, 2010

Team Characteristic: Teamwork

Personal Characteristic: Task Master

BRIEF Description of Activity/Situation: This week is the week to get all of the pieces of this project together. We have worked hard individually and collectively on our project. This week has been more revising and making sure that all the pieces follow proper APA format. For the figures and tables, it was not an easy task as you move them from Excel to Word, the formats will are not compatible most times. Making it fit into what APA requires, made the task more difficult, but we put it together. I must give my group all accolades possible and they have worked tirelessly on this project and have really done their parts to make this the best product possible. Now that it is all together into a formal document, it is time for Dr. Magill to slice and dice so we can have the product ready for our client Dr. Teigen at Bird High School.

Reflections: One of my strongest characteristics, task master, came into play as we put the project together in its final stages. At times, I find that I take control but I don't want to push others too much as this was Spring Break and we all needed the break. I realized that we had deadlines to meet so when we met on Thursday, it was a work session, no time for idle talk. We worked hard and went to our homes and continued to work from there as well. E-mail correspondence came in handy as we to complete this project. I must say, I am proud of my group and the work that we have done. Also, I am amazed that most of my Spring Break has been spent working on projects. Again, these are the sacrifices made for a doctorate degree.
