Fall 2007

I personally haven't gotten much done as I was doing work for my other classes this week. I have re-written the searching to perform searches for both contents and authors. The search tree is generated correctly but I am not getting the results.

Everybody was really busy this week. I personally had a test on Monday, malloc due this week, and a problem set due and last weekend KSA activity took a bulk of my time. Since you knew how much work you had at the beginning of the week, was this reflected in your milestones? It's better to warn people that you'll be swamped rather than taking on too much and disappointing.

I just need to pick it up this upcoming week. I have come to realize that I don't have time for everything that I'm committing myself to, so I need to manage my time better as well. My remark here may be better in line with development process stuff, but when you make this realization, how can you solve it? You certainly can't drop your other commitments when 410 comes calling, so what can you do? *hint Talk to your PM hint* --Chelsea

We are doing well as a team, and people who have not much left in their own team (i.e. authoring team) has volunteered to help out with the UI stuff since we have a lot to do. People have been good at delegating work and picking them up.

I feel like not much has been achieved this week in terms of what is visible (showable to the customer). I wasn't at the customer meeting but I felt like we didn't have any progress to show him.

Honestly as Felipe has mentioned, I think after our hard week we should be able to pick up our pace. Also, the thanksgiving break will help us to recuperate. =) The problem is that after thanksgiving break, you will have effectively done half a week of work in the past two. How hard will it be to get back into the project after all that time off?
