Writing in/of/through the ether

Our Focus Group

I feel that Sunday's focus group went very well. We did make modifications to the agenda as necessary, but everything flowed together and I go the results that I expected.

As a group Lauren, Lindsey, Ashley, Shawn, Reyne, and I were very organized (except for some soda frustration haha) and worked perfectly together. I wish that more students would have attended besides Mike, but Mike, Dr. Charney & Mr. Goodstein served as great participants! The two professors especially were very talkative and into telling us everything they were thinking which is rpecisely what we were looking for.

The participants and student leaders had great dynamics together and I think we all felt very comfortable in the environment we were in, or at least I did. Some comments made were quite interesting, such as one of the first ones by Dr Charney, "The website does not represent the O'Neill at all. Especially with the bright blue background." Good thing we chose different colors crew!

In class tomorrow we need to wokr on re-prioritizing/ re-organizing our schedule based on some of the comments made by our participants. I believe Dr. FIshman is going to allow time for those of us who conducted the focus group to speak to everyone as a class about some of the happenings that cannot be captured on paper through transcribing the notes.

Until tomorrow................! Shannon
