Practice before the Big Day

Tuesday 9th

Started: 7:30
Ended: 9:30

We meat in the library. I (Ashley) had booked a room for use to practice in. We went over our each individual slide. Then we talked about how what we were going to say during our presentation. Then we practiced with the PowerPoint, we stood up and physically went threw the motions. Laura had to leave early, so after she left we just kept on practicing each of our parts.

We also had some time in between our speeches where we just bonded and talked about our finals and other things going on in each others lives. It was a good stress reliever for all of use because of finals coming up so soon.

Editing the paper one last time

December 8th

Start: 7:30
Ended: 8:30

The group went over the paper again to double check on the paper. They did not get to all the parts with in the paper last meeting, so they went over the paper that needed to get looked over.  They also started to go over the power point a little bit to. Changed the some slides and put in which part was for which group member.

I (Ashley) could not be there again because of work. But I looked over the power point when I got home and it looks great.

Edit paper

December 3rd

Started: 7:30
Ended: 9:30

The group worked on our draft of the final proposal on the paper. They edited and revised some parts of the paper to make it sound like it was one voice and not five. They wanted to make it sound cohesive so when someone else was reading it they would not be confused. They also went threw the requirements and made sure that what Grace was asking for was in the paper.

I (Ashley) could not be there because of work but they filled me in on my part of the paper and told me what they changed which I was fine with.

In class meeting

November 25th

Started at 12:45
Ended at 1:40

Audrey did receive an email back from Leah. She and Leah meet and discussed her capstone project and paper together. Audrey stated that Leah found that the number one way that students respond to advertising is Posters. Then its is word of mouth, then social media. Leah found out during her capstone that the Excess TV was not an efficient way to advertise for clubs on campus.

After Audrey discussed Leah's capstone project we went into the outline of our presentation. Audrey made the power point on Google docs. We agreed that we will need to run threw our presentation together as a group at least three times before we present.

 After laying our the power point presentation we then turned our attention to the paper.

The majority if class time was talking about how we are going to construct the group paper. The requirement for the paper is where we started and where our outline began. We all agreed that we were going to divide the paper up into sections and work on it over the break. We all agreed that our sections should be done by our next meeting, which is next Wednesday. In our next meeting we will all go over the paper together and think critically about what can be improved on if needed.

Next week we will have two meeting one in class and one on Wednesday.

NO Class, but a meeting

November 20th,

Started at 12:29
Ended at 1:30

Since Grace has canceled class, our group had decided to have our meeting during class time. However, Haliey and Audrey could not make the meeting. Which is not an issue because in our next meeting we are going to start our presentation on Tuesday next week in class.

Our meeting started out with the discussion Brianna and I had with Paul Shepherd.

After we discussed the meeting with Paul, we then discussed our presentation outline.

We started a rough outline of the presentation on paper then discussed that we will go over our outline and discuss more in depth with our other group members next week. We discussed that we will need to have more meeting and we must meet in person to do the outline together.

Frustration

November 12th

Start 7:30
End: 8:20

Our meeting started out with talking about the information each group member had collected for this weeks group meeting.

Haliey had talked with the Student Life Intern and received good information. Haliey was told that Student life was not the only organization on campus to help out student club/organization. She also found out that reserving space to but on a presentation for clubs and student is free.

Audrey emailed Leah a student last year who conducted research on marketing on the UWRF campus and sadly to say Leah has not responded to the email.

Brianna got in contact with the department who is in charge of WOW but they has little information to give to Brianna. Then told Brianna to get in contact with people from student life.

I (Ashley) had a meeting with Paul Shepherd on November 12. We had a meeting set for at 4 and I waited until 4:30, then I decided to leave. It was very frustrating because I didn't receive any email to why he didn't show up.

Laura was not at the meeting because a family situation came up which is understandable. She had found out that bulletin boards can rang form  $100-2,000. So with a wide range to choose from we felt that it was not too much to the college to spend for more advertising in the academic buildings.

We all felt frustrated because no one was communicated with us or giving us any information that we could rely or use for our presentation. We decided that we would try again and communicate with the individuals we had last week and see what we get through out the week. And discuss what we will do in out next meeting.

Our meeting of actually discussion for the project only lasted about 20-30 minutes the rest of the time we just vented to each other about the stress in our lives. The next day we all said it was great to just vent and laugh, it was a good bonding experience.
