Our Projects have only just begun so there’s not a whole lot to say about them yet, but I can still talk about what has happened and what I look forward to.
To begin with, what has happened so far. So far I have gotten to know my teammates and have written a problem statement for the project and team conduct guidelines. I’ll go with the best and worst about each. The best things about my teammates is that it seems like we will be able to get along as we have shared interests, and have been able to get solid communication so far. The worst thing is that one of my teammates is currently living in China, so there is a 15 hour time difference. This is a bit of issue since live communication (discord or zoom calls) will be hard to host with all 3 of us since the best time to have it would be afternoon PST and my other teammate works mostly afternoon shifts. We are still communicating well despite that, which is a great sign for the future. The best thing about the problem statement was getting to know exactly what the project had in store. I think that our draw and play videogame sounds super interesting and I really look forward to getting to learn about app design and image processing. The worst part of the problem statement was definitely writing it. Formal writing is difficult. Building the team conduct guidelines went really well. We all contributed to it and looked it over before turning it in and honestly I’m not at all worried about how we will get along and from what I’ve heard from my teammates so far. I don’t think there will be any reason for complaints.
I am looking forward to really getting into the project. I know that it’s some time coming and that it will be really difficult to get started, but getting started is always the hardest part. All of the things that the project is made out of interest me and I hope that I will be able to have fun with it without having the stress overwhelm me. The professional side of the project does worry me a little (I’m worried I’ll do something wrong) but it’ll be a good experience.
