When a teacher tells me to collaborate with other students on a class project, I would first of all talk with my classmates about the main purpose of the project is. Then we would probably talk for a while about all the facts that we can think of in order to deepen each others understanding about the topic. At the end of the class we would exchange cell phone mail addresses and e-mail addresses. When I want to show other people what I have done, I would e-mail my work to everyone in the group and ask for feedback. When we are all finished with our individual things and need to get together to work on the project at the same time, I would most likely reserve the studying room in the Osmar Library. If we are just talking, we could try the Shin-D building as well. I would do my best to get together on campus, because it would be somewhat inconvenient to get together off campus.

The Google Document and Spreadsheet program was not very difficult to use and it was very useful because I could create a document online and publish it from the Google doc page. In order to use this program successfully, I needed to learn how to create a readable chart. I had troubles in the "what data?" section because I did not know how to write the range of data (eg. B7:I7). The chart kept changing shapes, all becoming the same color, or it showed the image "no data." However, when it was all done, it was true that a chart has much more impact when talking about statistical data.
