Advice to Spring 2008

To succeed in Angie's class, and specifically the client- based project, it is necessary to be self-motivated, organized, and an effective communicator.

When doing the project, I found that I would leave everything to the last minute and often have questions that needed to be answered. While Angie is readily available to help at all times, it is better to keep your own schedule and work a little bit each day.

Since you are also working with a group, it is vital to be organized and an effective communicator. There is a lot to do- blogs, presentations, and 7 pieces of a proposal- that needs to be divided up among group members. You also have to check regularly to ensure that everyone is doing their part so that your grade will not be adversely affected, which requires good communication skills. You have to make sure you all have the same objective going into the project to ensure its success.

Other than that, I wish you all the best of luck in Angie's class. I know you all will enjoy having her as a teacher.
