Progress Report Memo

 

 

Overview:
The Yellow Team critiqued the Green Team’s progress report for the Nicholas House Service Learning Project. Each member of the Yellow Team contributed to the critique of the Green Team except Joshua Harrell. The members of the Yellow Team each read the Green Team’s progress report and submitted our questions regarding the content to each other during a meeting on Friday, November 07, 2008. Hereafter; “we” refers to the Yellow Team members.

 

Critique:

 We felt that the progress report needed to be reviewed for grammatical and punctuation errors. One example of this is:

“Kenny was responsible for researching and

developing content on how young children and

teens use the Internet.  Additionally he included

information on Internet safety for both parents

and children.  While there are printed resources

available on these topics the majority of his

research came from the web. “

 

This paragraph needs a comma after the word additionally. Two more examples include:

“...While there are printed resources available on these topics the majority of his research came from the web.

“......In choosing a web site to use Kenny

looked for author and or sponsor credibility”

 

Both of these examples could use commas.

 

We also felt that the progress report could benefit from answering these questions:

    

  1. Does the Nicholas House have an Internet connection?
  2. Does the Nicholas House have means of duplicating the “User’s Guide” to Distribute?

 

Summary:

We found the Green Team’s Project to be well designed, purposeful, and humanitarian. The Progress Report was easy to read, interesting, and detailed. It was difficult to come to conclusions as to what needed critiquing, but we were able to find a few unsubstantial flaws. We felt that the Green Team’s Project was going to be a success.
