Part 1

Weixiang is a nice member. His writing style is a little bit casual. He does not write much except for his wring classes. He is suitable for writing some descriptive paragraphs in the project. Xinnan is better in writing. He can compose the main body paragraphs for the project. The similarity is that we are all Chinese students and our writing sill is a little bit Chinese.

The common task our group has decided on is to write a plan for a hiring company. Our company is to help international students to launch their jobs in the U.S. We decide on this major because we are all business majors. We want to do something that is correlated with our major. My writing interest is modifying the whole article. I can do the final editing and knitting for our group. This is an important part to polish the whole project.

Part 2

The most important thing for collaborative writing is the efficient communication between group members. If group members cannot communicate their ideas effectively, they are not able to generate effective working. Effective communication is of critical importance to the success of a group project. According to my group discussion, I think to make groups successful, the most important thing to do is to communicate with each other effectively and try to make ourselves well understood.

The first important guideline for group discussion is the use of effective tools to facilitate our communication. There are many different tools available for our discussion. As long as we can utilize these tools, we can facilitate our discussion. The second important guideline is effective communication. Effective communication is important in group meeting and can help us to understand each other very well.

The proposal refers to the plan that we will work on. It means what we need to write in the whole project. It is like a discussion of the meaning and importance of the topic. The productive meetings section mainly talks about how to make a meeting productive. It provides helpful advice on how to generate a productive and helpful group meeting.

Part 3

For our communication, we plan to use text massage and email. These two are common tools and easy to use. We can use them to communicate with each other and make appointments.

I will communicate with my group two to three times a week. This is a moderate frequency that can generate productive results.
