ENGL 420: Business Writing

This week was quite busy as we put the first draft of our white paper together. On Friday of last week I sent out an e-mail to all of my group members letting them know what I needed out of each of them so that I could take their completed material on Monday and start putting the paper together. Two out of the three of them came through, which was nice, but I still had to cover for the guy in our group who couldn't pull his weight. As a result, he was fired from the group.

Overall, the white paper has been put together and works have been cited. We had to put the white paper into design format and that was probably the hardest part because there are so many templates that we could go off of, but we wanted something unique that fits our group style. After sending out emails and text messages, we have not been able to get a hold of one of our group members. This person was here for the first meeting during class, but we have not been able to reach them ever since. Unfortunately we had to kick them out of our group.

Overall we got done with the project rather early despite some major setbacks. One of our group members, Chinedu, hasn’t been seen since last Friday. We’ve emailed him and attempted to call him several times but haven’t gotten any responses. I don’t know if he dropped the class or simply hasn’t felt like calling us back, but we were in a state of confusion on how to proceed since we hadn’t heard from him. Fortunately, we were able to move on and still get everything finished on time.
