Wow, it was a crazy week getting the group business analysis finished. My group and I worked really hard and we were able to get it finished. While it was stressful and took lots of effort I feel like we learned from our experience. It was my first time writing something like a business report and it was an interesting experience. One thing that I noticed while writing the report was the importance of being direct. The report really wasn't the place to use really expressive language or words. It just needed to get the point across as efficiently as possible. Compared to a typical paper I would write in an English class it was pretty different.
The presentation aspect of the project was also a good experience. While we I made some small mistakes when presenting, I felt that I was able to get my point across to the class. Presenting for 15 minutes and then answering questions for another 5 seemed a little daunting at first, but I couldn't believe how fast the time flew by during our presentation.
While the project was tons of work, around 25 hours per person, it was a good experience and I feel like we improved our writing and presenting skills.
It was so important that it be direct! We would come to a consensus and deem entire paragraphs as unnecessary at times and delete them from our report. Such a great experience for the real world.
