After getting along in the project I became a little frustrated. I'm a person who needs a lot of guidance, and/or set deadlines. If there are no deadlines/no instruction I get lost and confused and start to loose track of what I am doing. I kind of wonder how much of this is in our control though. I emailed Julie Lindsay with a question and it went unanswered. I realize she is busy, but that is the person the project told me to contact. I found this unprofessional considering how many people the project is asking to volunteer to be judges/expert advisers. Maybe I am expecting too much, I am not sure.
Through the end too the students did not seem to add very much beneficial information. They hounded each other, I got an email about every 20 minutes about an updated post on the discussion board, but I did not see a ton of change. I was also asked to have the students nominate someone for editor, and that post went unnoticed. I wonder how the teachers are acting in this process. Are they playing too much of a role? Are we necessary if they are going to be a major part of it?
