Since we didn't have class for Thanksgiving week, I was going to combine this week and last. Over thanksgiving week the group researched the different topics, costs, plans of the project and all the details necessary. This week we compile everything to the rough draft and turned it in. We then worked on peer evaluations and evaluated the World of Warcraft groups paper.

This week I finished up all the research I needed to do.

So this week we finally set in stone what everyone will be researching, and our finalized paln for the project. I will be researching things like the total cost, downsides, and what it takes to implement the brokerage idea in terms of items/software/hardware needed. Research is all :D

So we split up John's portions of the project, and now I'll be doing the group blogs for him.

Last week we did the Memo and the Gantt Chart. This week is reasearch based. Everyone will look up their information and send it to me when done so I can compile it.

This week I finished the Memo, and helped Nick with the Gantt chart. I will also be doing research on my topics.

Last week I discussed ideas with the team and brainstormed various ways to expand and further our research for the new Recommendation Project. Planned to meet and finalize ideas this week.

Created powerpoint slides to contribute to greater presentation, and practiced my presentation and reviewed my content.

So this week I finished my research on Account Verification. And typed up a 500ish word document that presented my research, and sent it to John for our white paper rough drafft. I found some images that could be used for the presentation as well as brainstormed ideas for how to present my topic.

Also will be doing peer reviews today in class.

Last week, the group met and discussed different options for E-commerce and the topics we could tackle. We decided on Fraud with the proposal of different areas of Fraud prevention leading us to choose the topic.

I gave input on various preventative measures that could be used, in particularly the Account Varification method.

So this week my group is in the process of researching our topic. I personally have been researching the area of Account Varification for users on E-bay.

I have been searching various sites to try and find a viable option for account varification, and have been searching for the best option to take and use in terms of E-bay.

I will compile my research and break it down for our next group meeting.
