Almost forgot to do the blog this week! Glad to see the Browns won, finally! Ohio State as well. Indians finish the year 81-81, could have been better.
This past week I have spent a TON of time trying to work on and complete issue 2, the first group project of the year. This is the fourth group project that I have been involved in for an online class. Quite frankly, I do not like them at all. Most people, myself included are taking online classes for the flexibility they provide. Since most of us are working professionals, we have such busy schedules the chance to work on the school work at our time is a premium. Doing group work, my schedule may not match up with their schedule because of committments. Trying to communicate online is sometimes difficult as well.
Now, this has nothing to do with grades, because I have done well on the projects in the past. It also has nothing to do with the people I work with on these projects. It has more to do with the application of group work conflicting with the premise of online classes.
Just my thoughts on that topic.

Matt,
I agree. Group projects that have a short turn around time are rough! If we hadn't had that extra week to do issue #2, I don't think my group would have had nearly the quality product we ended up with. We didn't get together and on the same page until just a few days before the extended due date.
I do, however, like the group projects when we do have lots of time. It lets us think it through for a while and have time to really read others people's thoughts and have time to comment on them.
