Final Course Reflection #2

Please evaluate the emphasis on collaboration in writing the WikiBook chapters.

I really enjoyed learning how to use the Google docs sandbox. It was definitely a progressive learning experience as the first time when we just pasted information in it and then we developed better ways to organize the information. Using the sandbox really helped to write the chapter and it was a great way to collaborate note-taking. Having organized and conscientious group members made the collaboration process easy and rewarding

My frustration with the collaboration process was that I only had one active partner for each chapter I was assigned. I never experienced working in a group of three. It was questionable up until the deadline (or after) if the third person was going to participate. For the first chapter I worked on there wasn't a quiz builder, for the second there wasn't an author and for the third there wasn't a quiz builder. So by having one missing member the other two member couldn't fully fulfill their roles. There needs to be a way for the instructors to know as soon as someone drops a class or at least make it clear from the beginning to inform the instructor if they can't participate.
