The white paper project has been progressing smoothly and on schedule. We ran into a slight bump while trying to find sufficient research for different aspects of our solutions. To fix this, we plan to revise small portions of the solutions to better fit our research about the D.A.R.E. program.

This week, we drafted a contract distributing tasks for each group member. I have been assigned to the “Problem” section of our white paper. We then revised and updated our first outline to reflect our newly discovered research and our latest ideas.

Ever since being assigned to our groups, we have maintained a steady email discussion. This method has proven to be very effective, and each member has contributed their thoughts through this means of communication. Besides emailing, we have already had a group meeting (2-12-08) and have another planned for after class tomorrow (2-22-08). At the meeting tomorrow, we will further determine details for the content of our white paper and a more specific timeline for the particular tasks of the projects.
