Let's get it together! - Summary of our Oct. 10 class

We pieced our project together on Friday, and let me say that it looks absolutely incredible. We spent our class period working conscientiously on the project. I worked on the Concept Maps with a program called Microsoft Visio, which took an hour for the first two maps since I was getting used to the program, but I finished up the other four in another hour. Theresa and Lauren worked on our memo for the annotated bibliography. They've been working very well together; I can see them laughing and having a good time as they bounce ideas of each other. They are both very good writers who are not afraid to question the wording of a sentence or carefully go through and edit a paragraph. Tim finished up and double-checked everything we did, which was an excellent task for him since he's becoming a very good facilitator for our group.

Overall, I think we had our absolute best class period all year. We got the most work done overall, we all knew which task we were responsible to finish, we were focused for most of the class period (I think we were silent for the first half hour!), and I got to ask Prof. Danberg for a few pointers on concept maps at the end of class. I couldn't ask for a better use of my Friday morning.

Until next time,
Brian Goetsch
