The goal of the meeting was to revise and finish the final draft and begin working on the power point presnetation. 

We worked together to revise the rough draft that was peer edited the Friday before.  We had troubles adding more content that was needed while staying within the limitations of the 1800 word limit.  The final draft was completed; however we did not begin the PowerPoint presentation.  We decided to meet on Tuesday night to work on the PowerPoint.

For our next meeting we plan to meet Tuesday, October 28, 2008 at the Stewart Center Computer lab 8:00pm to start on our power point presentation.

The goal of the meeting was to finish the rough draft and mesh all of our parts into one contiguous paper. 

We worked together to put all three of our ideas together to form the rough draft of the white paper that is due on Wednesday October 22.  The draft came together nicely and we managed to keep the draft within the word limits.

For our next meeting we plan to meet Sunday, October 26, 2008 at the Hicks Library at 3:00pm to make revisions of our rough draft and start on our power point presentation.

a) The research portion of the project is done, and I have begun working on the actual writing of the white paper.

b) This week I worked about 5 hours in a group setting from working on my portion of the rough draft as well as working on making the entire draft mesh together.  Along with the 5 hours of group work I have spent about 3 hours outside of the meeting times working on my portion of the paper.

The goal of the meeting was to work on the rough draft and mesh all of our parts into one contiguous paper. 

We were given extra class time to work on our papers, so we worked together to put all three of our ideas together to form the rough draft. The draft began to come together nicely.  We worked on revising some of the parts that needed to be quoted and rephrased.  We also worked our parts together to start forming a single paper that meshed well together.

For our next meeting we plan to meet Sunday, October 19, 2008 at the Hicks Library at 3:00pm to mesh the work we have done individually and finish the rough draft of the white paper that is due Wednesday, October 22.

The goal of the meeting was to get at least two pages of the rough draft done by the end of the night as well as bring together our research. 

We discussed and started the different parts of the paper and worked on each section individually after sharing our research findings and dispersing them among our group.  The paper was divided into the separate parts as follows:

Aswin:

History and of RPGs

Affected Players of RPGs

Neglect of the company

Jim:

Problems with the success of the game

Research findings

Discussing the findings and what they mean

Andrew:

3 Probable solutions

Reflections

We created between 250 and 400 words for each of our parts and decided to call it quits for the night. 

For our next meeting we plan to meet Sunday, October 19, 2008 at the Hicks Library at 3:00pm to mesh the work we have done individually and finish the rough draft of the white paper that is due Wednesday, October 22.

a) I have worked on researching different findings of RPG addiction and other useful websites shown below:

b) I also contributed two hours towards putting the hard copy together in a group setting as well.

All three people in the group were here. Everyone all participated in making the necessary corrections to the final draft which were done on Monday; and have completed the power point presentation for class on Friday.

The goal of the meeting was to get the outline pulled together and completed. 

We worked together to put all three of our ideas together to form the outline that is due on Friday October 10.

For our next meeting we plan to meet Wednesday, October 15, 2008 at the Hicks Library at 8:00pm to pull together our research and work on the rough draft

I have done research on my specific topic, the Ruckus network.  I discovered that this network provides college students with valid e-mail accounts to access music for free.  The students can download any song they want with no restrictions, besides placing the songs on their iPods.  I have also contributed to the group by providing the steps that have been taken to adress our probelm as well as the conclusion to the paper.

Last week, My group and I met at my apartment to go over the final document, we were up in my apartment from 10pm to 1am-1:30am. I also, wrote the executive summary. I also, helped with the solution part of the white paper. But, I also helped my other goup members with their parts when they needed help.

This week we plan to correct our mistakes that we made on the rough draft. And work on the Powerpoint.
