ENGL 420: Business Writing

Our group met this week to get the ball rolling a little more with our white paper. Because I am the one in our group most familiar with the topic and the auction industry in general, we spent some time at our group meeting having a conference call with one of our sources, a customer of Adesa Indy. I thought it was important for David and Kevin to hear someone else, who is more knowledgeable talk a little about the project, and we all had the opportunity to ask any questions to help clarify our understanding and direction.

This past Monday was the first time our team met outside of class. It was at 9:00 in the Stewart Center library. I thought that the meeting place was a very good idea, because the library has a group work room that has tables and computers with over-sized screens so that the whole team can easily see what is happening.

This week I have started writing the actual white paper. So far I have completed a rough copy of the introduction and problem part of the paper.
The week started off with our group meeting Monday night to work on the outline of the paper and to distribute task assignments. We are pretty much done with our outline, but it still needs some minor things added. For the actual paper, I am responsible for the problem and introduction section, Katie is responsible for the executive summary and conclusion, and Kevin is responsible for the three proposed solutions to the problem.
