The Semester is Flying By!

This week in class, so far, we learned about how to prepare to collaborate. Something new that I learned about was causal reasoning. Causal reasoning is relating two or more events together by showing how one event caused the other. I thought that was an interesting type of reasoning. I also liked the various examples we talked about in class about being aware of the fact that there may be little evidence to connect the two events together that you are trying to use for causal reasoning. As far as communication goes, I think that being an ethical communicator is an extremely important quality to have when working in a group environment. I've worked with groups in the past where certain members of the group would say one thing, but never follow through on their commitments. This was both frustrating and time consuming when trying to pick up the slack that they left off.
So far the project is still coming along nicely. Now that the proposal is out of the way I feel that it's just a matter of time before I am going to look around and think wow this semester is already over and everything worked out! I am excited to see how many cell phones we can collect, and I know, regardless of the quantity, it will help the women at the YWCA.
