Essay#3 Reflection

1) Group Interaction
The interaction between my group was decent. It wasn't spectacular but it was what I expected. I tried to prepare myself for the worst, so at its worst, at least I wouldn't be disappointed. I don't think all four of us were ever interacting with each other, except for when we were in class. I knew this group essay would be rocky from the beginning based off the last essay we did, and how hard it was just for us to agree on the outline. Myself and Junalyn basically created the outline, then each person was able to choose which key point they wanted to write about. That was the best and most non-stressful part of the essay for my group, in my opinion. Each person wrote their section without needing assistance from other group members. I was very satisfied that this was done on time. When all the components were put together I felt, and still feel that it didn't flow the way it should of. On the topic of corrections, I feel that we should have all contributed on the corrections so everyone's ideas would be incorporated and it would help create a unison of all our voices. But for the most part, we all got along and there weren't that many conflicts.

2) Use of Contract
I don't feel that the guidelines of the contract were correctly followed. There were days where group members wouldn't be present and work couldn't effectively be done because we needed their input on the decision. Looking back now, I feel the contract needs to be extremely revised. We were a little too lenient with some of the rules, and in the end, those hindered the outcome of the essay.

3) Use of Wiki
The wiki was pretty well used. We created new pages for this essay, so everyone in the group could have their information in the same place. I think everyone contributed a little to the wiki and it was very useful in the end to find information because it was all there.
