We started the project last fall when we drew up a tentative schedule outlining the tasks of the project and brainstorming ways we could most effectively complete our project. Justin, the project manager, delegated tasks to each member of the group.  Each member of the team adopted a component and presented his work at the team meetings.  As the project progressed, members overlapped on their work and began helping one another complete the tasks.  Also, Dr. Fleischfresser over looked the team's progress as well as acted as a liaison between our group and the technical advisor, Dr. Leon Schindel.  While the deadline approached, the team met more regularly and combined its work into a website. 

    Our communication throughout the project was very good.  All of our team members communicated with one another frequently.  We would communicate when we needed help on a certain task or when we finished one.  Our instructor held meetings about once every three weeks. During these meeting we talked to him and told him what was getting done and what still needed to be worked on.  We talked with our technical advisor the most as our projected neared completion.  We first sent e-mails to him, but we also talked with him on the telephone which was very helpful.  

Three lessons that we learned were:

1. The better your communication is, the better your final product will be.
2. Never criticize anyone's ideas.  You never know, that one idea could turn into a million dollar operation.
3. The most important thing to have is teamwork.  Without it, it would be hard to get anywhere.
