Reflection
Something I think my group and I did well was getting on top of our work. In my group there were two people that didn't want to do anything and didn't help to complete this project but the partner that did help we worked really well together and accomplished a lot quickly. we divided the work so that we could get twice as much done at one time. I think this project helped me learn to focus more. I think I could have tried harder to get the other teammates to help but I also feel its not my job to babysit them and hold there hand through a project that we all need to contribute to. Overall I feel this project was pretty easy and it went very smoothly.
