DCT final project work day

After a big surprise in class today, where I received an award from the MSTC Foundation & Alumni Board of Directors, our group continued to work on our final project for DCT class.  I must say I was very surprised -- so thank you to all involved in the selection. I'm not really sure how our project is going as I feel like a group member has a vision and isn't wanting to share it with the rest of us. We seem to be doing a lot of repetitious work instead of have sections delegated among the four of us. This is not like the groups I have worked in before, both here in school and my former job. I will do my best for my group and myself. That is all I ask of my group and from myself. We shall see what happens when everything is completed and turned in for grading. It will be great!

Final Group Project

Today was a work day, number 5 but now we are on to THE FINAL GROUP PROJECT!!!! (the final countdown by Europe playing in the background.) We are meeting on Friday to discuss the project in more detail after we each research the requirements and bring some creative ideas to the table. So for the rest of today I will probably try to finish up my final project for Graphics and Print Media class.
Amanda, one of my group members is being totally ridiculous by singing the final countdown by Europe.

Podcast & Ethics Projects

So, although this is a tiny bit later than normal, last Wednesday we shared our podcasts and ethics videos with the class. We also had our final project outlined, another group project. I have yet to see the value of doing these group projects, I know the school is trying to teach us to work together with many personality types but school is not like group projects in the real world working environment. I know this because I work in the workplace before returning to school for many, many years. All I will say is that I have been very lucky so far with the groups I have been in.
