Tuesday March 14th Today is the day it all really started. I’m just going to write one page a day. 15 pages due April 21st
Friday March 24th Our proposal was rejected Sunday night and we had to come up with a new one. We’re going to offer a seminar or class to small businesses to inform them on basic information privacy and security
I’m supposed to start writing the paper but I’m super fatigued from work. The team is supposed to meet tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 and I’ll be working on the project tomorrow until the meeting. The 15 page paper is due April 21st
Monday March 27th The meeting with my group went well. I don’t think any of them turned in the resubmission yet though. I’m going to write most of mine today. The whole thing is due in 25 days .There are 15 pages due but only 25 days and also a 7 minute video is due after that. What I really need to do is schedule some time slots with the tutors at the library. I think they have a help session that I can use for the eportfolio
Tuesday March 28th The 15 pages is due April 21st and the videos do April 28th. I think that would give me a week to make the video after having 15 pages of research to talk about. She mentioned it doesn’t have to be high production value and a zoom camera video is fine. I didn’t finish my resubmission because I spent the whole weekend goofing off. I talked to my team at lunch and I told them that we can’t wait to resubmit.
Wednesday March 29th I submitted my paper last night around 10:00 p.m. Very happy that I sat down and got it done before it was due. I emailed the professor and I’ll likely enjoy a day off while I wait for her to reply I don’t know how much of it I can reuse for my paper but they will definitely be useful. I should go to the library today and see what the tutoring center offers about the eportfolio
Monday April 3rd The teacher graded my submission and I got full credit. I’m very happy about it. I held a zoom meeting Saturday and Sunday but no one came. I talked to my ideas about it my friends about the idea instead. I scheduled a new appointment for the eportfolio help and that will be Tuesday after work. Should be a good week
I’m going to try to finish the paper by Friday night. I went to see the professor in person and she said she will announce office appointments for anyone who wants feedback before the end of the semester. I’d like to have my 15 pages ready for her by Friday. I’m going to see how much of what I already have is reusable and I’m going to start with the section about how my other class is related to this idea then I’m going to start looking up articles. The bulk of the paper is seven pages discussing scholarly articles. I need to find articles today. Today I learned about Academic Search Complete. My success coach reminded me about it and I’m very grateful for Coach
I ended up switching to zoom meeting. It went well and I got what I needed. I am looking at articles now.
I made a list of classes I have taken that I think I can talk about for the section about material outside of my major. I found a couple of resources from Academic search complete. I got sidetracked deciding what kind of articles I need. So I made a list of feedback that the instructor gave us and I am working through the things she wants me to include. I think I have enough to write about, I am just gonna make sure I submit early for feedback so i can address anything
I am definitely behind schedule for turning it in Friday. The boat i am on is 16 stories tall and i can’t stress how exhausted i am when i get home. That’s why i am not working any weekends. If i need time on the weekend, I’ll have time
Also, my teammates are talking a bit more, so i can’t just do whatever i want. I am back to having to wait for replies, kinda. Gonna schedule another zoom meeting Saturday and Sunday
I tried to set up a zoom for my team this weekend but no one replied. I am gonna zoom with the Instructor soon and if they don’t join….idk. I just saw her recent announcement talks about lack of cooperation being evident in the final papers.
Finding it hard to focus. I know I need to spend the weekend writing my paper but I feel super angry about everyone and everything
April 8 First page rough draft is finished. 2nd page finished.
April 10 I had a zoom meeting Saturday afternoon and 2/3 of my team showed up. I have a plan for what I want to write, I need to find the articles. At first I tried finding articles before writing, but now I am looking for specific articles because I know what I want.
And we are going back home to the other shipyard for a few days. I won’t be as tired
Our team meeting is Thursday afternoon.
I finished one page. I would like to write at least one more today
April 11 Most of the 4th page is done. I found something to write about but it so late so I went to bed. I only needed 2 or 3 more lines to finish page 4.
I think my goal was to finish 2 pages yesterday and I fell a little short. Not bothered by it though, I did some good research. I have a dentist appointment today, but I will still try to get 1 page done ( I hate the dentist and the numbing injections, I always get stomach sick after)
April 13 I haven’t made progress. 3.8 pages currently. Had the zoom meeting today and only Tobi and the professor were there. We have to agree on some stuff as a group. I was able to get Diego and Yohannes’ attention today right after the zoom. And Diego said we can have a zoom on Saturday. I asked her who I can look to for advice because she suggested that measuring cybercrime will be essential for our business but I don’t know how to measure or monitor it.
I have 6 pages finished now. I also made a plan of action with a bulleted list to keep me organized. I am gonna work through the list and see if that gets me to 15 pages.
April 17 I finished a 7th page last night. I have an emergency dentist appointment today so might not get too much done tonight. I will likely take the day off when I get home. My plan of action is looking good. I will send it quickly
The list is in order of what i think i should do, but i am really wanting to go ahead and do sections at the end, like sections (c) and (e) because i can cross them off. I decided to do them last because i will have more relatable material if i fleah out the other details first.
I checked and I do have 4 of 7 research pages done. 3 more pages of research and I can start wrapping things up with the other sections
April 18 One assignment is a 7 minute long video describing the project. The other assignment is an eportfolio. I have already visited the eportfolio lab and it was helpful. I could make some more appointments for next week though. But yes, I plan to use the paper as the material for the video and website
I think I should schedule a meeting to force myself to go. Maybe show the tutor and get feedback
April 19 I made 2 appointments for the eportfolio help. One Saturday and one for Thursday. I finished a page of research. Working on the 7/7 page for section b
I finished the 7th page of research strong with some very good stuff on the price of targeted advertising. I am working on page 11 of 15 total now but I think the rest will flow better now that I have the core written. 2 pages of the remainder is also reflective of other course work outside the major, should be easy.
And Tobi from my team hit me up and we are gonna zoom tonight
April 20. I get to do the summary section and the next steps section now. It’s due tomorrow but I’d really like to finish all of the writing today and only do formatting and fixing my citations tomorrow. Also, I was able to get next Friday off work. I won’t be at work worrying about the deadline. I plan on completing all of my coursework by next Friday night
I finished the research section and also the 2 pages about how my other classes from outside my major are a part of the business. I have 12.5 of 15pages now and I want to finish today. I didn’t finish bit it’s ok
April 21 I have more or less abandoned it. I turned in 13.5 pages yesterday, i have unlimited attempts though.
Monday April 24 The last 3 assignments are: week 6 journals ( it’s only 5 questions about entrepreneurship), eportfolio, and our 7 minute video about our innovation. I checked out some simple software for recording myself, then i got a buddy who wants to help me edit. Overall i am looking to finish the journal and my eportfolio today, then work on the 7 minute video the rest of the week. I took the day off Friday 4-28 so i won’t be stuck at work while i am worried about my due dates.I have great news! I am gonna use our conversations about my project as material for my journal!! Thank you so much coach Montana!
Tuesday April 25 My journal is done and most of the eportfolio is good to go. I need to record myself for a 40 second video, and I need to come up with some picture of my entrepreneurial progress. I? I need to make an organizational chart for employees we might have. There was something we used in a class that we designed an office space. It had models of chairs, tables, lamps, printers. I can’t remember though it was 6 years ago I have my transcript and I am trying to remember details about that assignment that would help me figure it out
