English 421Y: Technical Writing Online

This week was a very busy one for me and my group because the final draft was due and there was a lot of things that I wanted to change around before we posted it. I put a lot of time trying to get our white paper rough draft into top condition.

I had to write the executive summary, introduction, reference pages, and the conclusion because we left those parts out of our rough draft or needed revisions. It was somewhat frustrating for me because people in my group would either undo stuff that I did or open a old version of our paper, so I had to go back through several times and make updates for the second time. It was also difficult because several members made a lot of changes late at night on Friday night and messed up some parts of the draft, so at about 11:30 I had to go through and make some revisions so that it would be correct. Its always hard for me to work in groups, because a lot of times people do not revise what they do as much as me and I have to go through and fix other peoples mistakes.

The hardest part this week was trying to get everybody to add the references and cite them in the paper. A lot of people where busy with other projects, so it was very hard for me to get people to add their references, but eventually everybody did.
