Sukaina Tejani said

I have class from 1-9 on Wednesday . Unless after 10:30 ? Sorry guys. I just spend way too much of my time in school lol

Danielle Phan said

at 1:03 pm on Oct 29, 2012

Being that we can't meet up this week .... would it be cool if we plan a layout of the things we should talk about? Being that we have some time now, and anytime during the week --- it'd be best if we group our ideas on to this page.

First task to tackle?

Katie Ahern said

at 1:15 pm on Oct 29, 2012

Yeayea, how about everyone agrees to go over eachothers reports and think of things we would want to look at. and maybe agree to meet this weekend?

Danielle Phan said

at 1:24 pm on Oct 29, 2012

fair deal .... so all reports should be looked over by Saturday morning by 9am?

Naseem Khan said

at 1:25 pm on Oct 29, 2012

Sorry for my late replies. I always forget to check this page! I can do Friday during the day, I'm not really going to be home on Saturday/Sunday.

Sukaina Tejani said

at 1:30 pm on Oct 29, 2012

Yeah I'm fine with that . I'll look at everyone's workspace. Any ideas can be posted I guess (:

Leslie Chan said

at 2:07 pm on Oct 29, 2012

Just a quick not to let your group know that I am enjoying the development of the various case studies in this group and the team work emerging. It's great to see!

Katie Ahern said

at 4:56 am on Oct 30, 2012

KK how about we all agree to look over the Reports by Saturday and have comments/ideas ready for the critical analysis and the presentation of information (See project info on group project page)? We wont necessarily have to talk over the phone but we should all have some pointers/ideas about what we want to put together for next friday. sound good?

Katie Ahern said

at 4:57 am on Oct 30, 2012

And we can post our ideas on the group project page? Would someone want to create a new matrix/table to put the ideas in?

Sukaina Tejani said

at 9:13 am on Oct 30, 2012

Yeah I agree. I also think we should try catch similarities of all reports cause that's important for our next step .

Naseem Khan said

at 10:02 am on Oct 30, 2012

This all sounds good. At the end of my crazy week (Thursday night), I'll definitely start going through papers! :)

Danielle Phan said

at 11:08 am on Oct 30, 2012

Guys, take a look at Saman's workspace. It's apparently the 'goal' case study. http://idsb10.pbworks.com/w/page/60354825/Saman%20Goudarzi%27s%20Workspace

Take some time to reformat our own work, before it gets graded

Katie Ahern said

at 5:50 pm on Oct 31, 2012

KK. So lets say that by Sat/ Sunday night at the latest each have a list of similarities between the case studies and an idea of how we can present the information. Cause EEK! this collective analysis is due next friday!

Danielle Phan said

at 5:55 pm on Oct 31, 2012

so what do we exactly have to do? Gather each report and get a list of similarities of what? I was thinking present the idea through a facebook/twitter layout

Danielle Phan said

at 8:25 pm on Oct 31, 2012

"The group will also begin to compile an annotated bibliography at this stage (with a minimum of 5 academic sources from each member). (Instructions and guidelines will be provided)" Where is the instruction for this part?

Katie Ahern said

at 9:50 am on Nov 2, 2012

I have no idea, Leslie and Becky havent given us an indication what these guidelines are. I would say lets just go ahead and get our similarities and differences thought out, and wait nad see what they post this weekend

Sukaina Tejani said

at 10:38 pm on Nov 1, 2012

Perfect! By saturday/Sunday night then. How about i make a work page for everyone to contribute their similarities, differences and anything else on and then link it to the group project page. would that be useful?

Katie Ahern said

at 9:37 am on Nov 2, 2012

Sukaina, that sounds great, can you put up the page today so that naseem can add in hers before she goes away for the weekend? And we should probably have a meeting of some sort before or on monday so we have time to write up the report during the week

Naseem Khan said

at 10:25 am on Nov 2, 2012

I'll be available a little on the weekend so I can still comment, etc. :)

Katie Ahern said

at 9:42 am on Nov 2, 2012

Hey Sukaina, I created a page for us to input all our ideas, its linked above! :D

Sukaina Tejani said

at 10:41 pm on Nov 1, 2012

Or anyone suggest any other method of communication ?

Danielle Phan said

at 10:43 pm on Nov 1, 2012

here would be best, so that Prof and T.A could see our contributions

Naseem Khan said

at 9:21 am on Nov 2, 2012

I'lll do my differences/similarities today because I won't be home much on the weekend

Katie Ahern said

at 9:58 am on Nov 2, 2012

Sounds good!

Katie Ahern said

at 9:36 am on Nov 2, 2012

Katie Ahern said

at 9:43 am on Nov 2, 2012

Hey All, I created a matrix/data table for us to input all our similarities and differences. Its linked above at the top of the page ("Click Here")

Danielle Phan said

at 9:39 pm on Nov 4, 2012

Naseem Khan said

at 10:24 am on Nov 2, 2012

I sneaked in to see how this group is doing and I am amazed that this group is well on their way. I like the spicynodes critical analysis which is really good and simple. we might consider using that as well; thanks for the idea and good luck.

Danielle Phan said

at 9:12 pm on Nov 13, 2012

aha, you're welcome :)

Sukaina Tejani said

at 9:44 pm on Nov 12, 2012
