Formal Research Reports and Technical Communications

Being a college student is probably one of the hardest things to be. There are many different things that we have to worry about. We all want to progress with our college careers, and at my university, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, it's difficult for some students to progress within their degree plan because they cannot enroll in certain classes. Why can't they enroll in these vital class? The University of Louisiana at Lafayette's scheduling system is inadequate.

Gia, Kaleb, Markell, and myself designed a new scheduling program which will solve UL Lafayette's current scheduling problem. The program is modeled just like Harvard University's schedule of classes. This new program will eliminate the many pop up windows that the current system has.

We had to interact with quite a bit of people while putting this project together. A survey of UL students was conducted. While handing out this survey, our group members had to remain polite and cordial. It was pretty difficult getting many people to take part in our survey. We worked through this problem by being more assertive.

Another problem we faced was getting everyone on the same accord. Personally, I was going through much in my life at the time this project was due. I was also the group's leader. We found a way to work through these communication problems once we bolted down and took the assignment more seriously.
