Slowly but Surely.

My group, Group 2, are now close to finishing off our mid - semester written coursework, which we chose to base on the subject of Reasoning the Fast and Frugal Way. In order to write our piece we have worked on some parts individually, we have met up in the computer room at University, kept in contact via e-mails and texts and we have also communicated via the wiki page that we have set up for our project. The biggest challenge we have come across so far was the actual making of the wiki page. Well, the making of it was fairly easy. The challenge was giving all of us access to it! I am not very good with computers, but need a bit of time to work out difficulties I might come across. Mix that with a bit of a short temper, and I am ready to throw in the towel. Thankfully, together with my colleagues, we all managed to log on and edit our page in the end. It is very good to have a mid - semester task that can prepare you a little for the final project. Group projects are great, as long as you end up in a good one which I have. My group is still working very well, with all five of us keeping in contact weekly both as we are working on this project and earlier when working on the weekly articles and presentations. It is another three days until our deadline, and then we can start focus on our final project which is going to be dedicated to Group Decision Making in Animals.
