This week, I continue to pay close attentions to the group emails. I made suggestions on the press release and I revised the final version of the poster and flyer. Jimmy came up with the original poster design, but I redid most of the layout and coloring using Adobe Photoshop so that it becomes more eye-catching. I also redid the layout, coloring and design of the flyer.

This week I really participated on the group’s activity. I checked every email I received from the group regarding the project and make suggestions on each revision of the press release, poster, and flyer. I offered to make revisions on the flyer and the group liked it. That flyer revision was finally chosen to be turned in as the second draft.

This was the week when I started to notice that I’d been receiving emails regarding the English 420 class. As I said in week 5 work blog post, I still sort of ignored the emails because I thought they were just things that I had to do for the class assignments and I was just going to do them later since I was busy with work again.

I absolutely did not participate at any group activities at all this week. Since I am way behind on this class, I did not even realize that we had any group projects. I thought everything was going to be individual. It was really my mistake since I just scan the syllabus real quick the very first day I logged-in into the course Web site. I am a workaholic.

This past week has been a great week. We were finally able to get all of the pieces of the project finished and on time. It was a rough week, but I am extremely happy with our final outcome. I think that it looks professional and conveys the correct point to the reader.

This week was dedicated to making the final revisions to the group project. I began by addressing the comments made by the clients about the press release. My major concern was to switch from a passive to active tone. The clients made it clear that they were not looking for a press release that was written in passive voice. Then I addressed the comments made by my peers.

Going into the final week of our class, we realized we had almost completed our final revision, with a few minor corrections here and there. These corrections were minimal and were a combination of our classmate’s revisions as well as the clients.

This week was a little less hectic compared to the rest of them. Not having a reading response or any responses/replies due this week helped out a lot with the work load. This week was shorter compared to the others; this made things a little tougher because things were due sooner than they were before.

This week was our best week by far, our group did a great job working together and we came up with a great final project. I was really happy with every part of the project. I realized after reading all the different feedback that we got that I really needed to think about just start from scratch when it came to my flyer.

This week was the final week of class and focused on finishing the Service Learning Project. On Monday and Tuesday I reviewed the Jane’s comments on my press release and made the recommended changes. The Crisis Center said that the press release was concise and easy to read, which I was happy to hear, but also said that its weakness was using a passive voice.
