Group project 1: Proposal/Setting due dates

First off I like the idea that we as a class get to pick our own due dates. I like this way better because sometimes you don't agree with the due date set by the teacher for various reasons. It could be because it might seem like there is not enough time, or it might just be unattainable. I think when the class gets to pick the due dates their can't really be any controversy because everybody knows about it and agreed on the dates in the first place. 

In addition, coming to the conclusion for the due dates was easier said than done in class today. I thought that the controversy about the due dates in class was harder to come up with because everyone has a different opinion about how fast they think things can get done. Also there is an issue of how long some of the tasks will take in order to finish the project. Some people may have more things that need accomplished compared to another group. There are just so many factors to consider when trying to agree on a due date. But I think that everyone had good ideas and had good contributions to why they thought their dates were best. I personally like the due dates that are now set in stone. I thought that it was a good idea to converse with the whole class because it made me think of some factors that I was not considering. Something that I was not considering was the more spaced out you make the due dates the better chance there is to procrastinate. Our groups original due dates were pretty spaced apart. I first thought that I needed all the time in between but I figured it is a good idea to have the due dates a little closer in order to get things done instead of waiting.

The first project, which is the proposal itself, definitely needs to be worked on until it fits the ideas exactly of what we are trying to accomplish. I think that in order to get this proposal the way we want it before the due date we as a group have to start working hard on these issues. I feel that in order to get this done we have to start talking to the right people as soon as possible. Overall, I think that our group is going in the right direction and we feel strongly about our issues so I think that we will accomplish at least some of the goals.
