ENGL 420: Business Writing

We did the remaining editing to our paper tonight (3/6) and are satisfied with our final draft that we are going to turn in tomorrow. This week I was unable to attend a group meeting because of a conflict with my work schedule, but I was able to still meet up with Justin in the library last night (3/5) and we got some editing done then. I feel that as a group we have been able to work well. All our meetings have all been consistently about 2 hours and we are able to get a lot done in the meetings.

Today we had our last group meeting which mainly involved small details such as editing sentences and finishing the final formatting so the paper is visually attractive. Overall as a group I feel as though we worked well together. We met a total of 6 times which most meetings excluding the last one lasted about 2 hours. The main thing I realized once again is that similar to a resume the first overall glance of a white paper can determine whether someone considers it worthwhile to read. At times as a group we would get off task by talking about weekend events or just anything random.

Our group met on Wednesday this week to finalize our white paper. I think we changed a lot of formatting issuses with our paper. I remember playing witht eh font a lot and margin quotes. We also changed the color of the paper. I think we made the right changes to make our paper professional. The most important part of this whole process was that we had a very detailed outline so writing the paper was a snap. Designing the paper was a little harder, but when we worked as a team I think we came up with something that we all agree on.

Our project has finally came together very well. We are getting close to being done, with only minor changes being needed from here on out. The only thing left to do is to review all the text and make sure there are no grammatical or spelling errors. Most of the formatting is finished except for a couple pages where some charts or tables will need to be added. Our group met yesterday (3/5) at 5:30 and we got a lot of work done. We didn’t like the color and format of our original design, so we implemented some new things, and it worked out real well.
