Revision as of 21:13, 30 October 2012
BLAH BLAH BLAH, hamfisted reiteration of what the assignment is in a shallow and soulless attempt to scrape a few more percentage points out of the bottom of the barrel where they keep our failing grades.

Project Management
Cause for Corrective Action
The group seems to be working together well now. we generally have very regular attendance at meetings and are improving our focus during those meetings. The cause for concern now is more refining our approach to group assignments that they may be completed as quickly and efficiently as possible. To that end, everyone was specifically assigned tasks before our first meeting in an attempt to streamline group work, and also to attempt to more evenly distribute out of meeting work among members.

God I hate this class.
Solid Modeled Assembly
Engineering Analysis
Design Revisions
In this section, we get to think about changes to a system that has been optimized over hundreds of years! While also considering one of the four bullshit GSEE factors, and the "products[sic] target audience and price point when making changes".
I can't decide if we're suppose to make or climb the mountain of bullshit.
