Team Project 2

Hello, whoever reads these. I've been slacking on these, so I'll cover the entirety of team project 2.  The project seemed to go relatively without a hitch. our implementation pattern seemed to be implemented well, and accurate, although there were some questions along the way.  Likewise, we implemented Team 1's design rather well, again, with some questions along the way, but nothing too difficult, and it wasn't anything we couldn't handle.  There is an issue that is starting to arise I've noticed, which is the desire to have synchronous meetings.  I understand synchronous meetings are ideal, and I understand wanting to have everyone there, but sometimes it just doesn't work, even now, so I'm not sure why some of my group pushes for this, especially because, to simulate global software development a synchronous video meeting would almost always be impossible if we were working with people anywhere else in the world.  It's not that big of a deal, but we've been in the situation where one or two people could not make a synchronous meeting; and instead of holding the meeting and catching the one or two people up to speed, we've just rescheduled.

Team Project 1

  After setting up a team, and beginning to talk, it was pretty easy to tell who was going to be easy to work with and who was going to be a hassle to get them to work.  Creating unit tests themselves were pretty easy.  I had some problems with the harder unit tests, mostly because it was hard to understand what they were doing, what with bad documentation.  While the more complex unit tests were harder, I wouldn't say that they were too difficult, or maybe even venture to say it wasn't difficult, period.  I programmed them with relative ease last night.  One of our group members isn't doing to much talking with the rest of the group, so I'm a little worried about him, but other than that, things are going well.
