Our first introduction on the internet through email was interesting and pleasant. The participants gave background information, as well as, a daily schedule of their daily activities. Realizing that everyone is either working or is participating in an internship, we knew that this group project was going to be a difficult assignment. As of right now, two other members of my group participated very well to accomplish our first task of the Gantt Chart. Due to hectic work schedules and time differences, it was a difficult task for everyone to communicate online effectively prior to this assignment. With the aid of the Gantt chart, we have divided up responsibilities for each member to complete by a certain deadline We are hoping that with time restrictions and job obligations, to accomplish all assignments on a timely fashion and preferably by our target dates listed on the group Gantt chart. Since this project is in its early stages, it is hard to tell how the future of this project will end and how well we will complete all of the assignments. My main concern is having everyone meet together in the group chat room to communicate ideas and express opinions because of the difficulty in schedules. This past week we have only been able to communicate with two members in the chat room. I realize that this is an online course and people do encounter difficulties with their computer systems, so I hope that the progress of this project will not be delayed and work together satisfactorily. We should develop a back plan incase technology does fail.
