I was assigned group 4 for the group project and I felt like we didn’t work together effectively. We had some trouble meeting up to work and communication. I felt like we could of done better at communicating. In the end, we manage to complete the assignment on time, maybe not our best, but the best we could do with the limited communication, time, and limited resources.

Due to the fact that Willie wasn’t present the one time we met for the worksheet he was unable to understand the final project assignment and once he joined his participation was slow, and continuously asked what he should do, instead of actively participated. We didn’t have clear roles and work assignments, due to the lack of communication from the beginning, we had a difficult time assigning people roles, we worked on the whole assignment together, and everyone continuously checked. We choose not to have a leader, but I was chosen as the person to do the final edits and turn in the presentation. Lauren and I together found ourselves bring the rest of the teammates together and making decisions, like when to have meetings and where. Unfortunately, it is hard to analyze our group and how functioned, due the fact that it felt like we were barely a group except for the two times we met
