 * by:** Katy, Neeley, Sue, Judith

(Katy) Hey group! I posted for questions 1-5 and I will post for 6-9 in the morning. I am sorry for getting this done so late in the week, but this is the only time I can find to work on this course. Forgive me! In any case, I have posted some strong viewpoints on some of the questions that the group might not agree with(?) and I am wondering, since we are graded as a group, if you all think this will hurt our score or help it. I believe we have to have a consensus, but I disagree with some of the answers already posted. Read what's there and let me know what you think.

Also, some of the other groups talked about condensing their answers down to one answer for each questions. Is this an idea for our group? Or would that make it more difficult for Dr. Williams to see who contributed?

I think it would be difficult for Dr. Williams to see who contributed, but I am open to whatever... I know she has read what I posted, she told me via email. I have to work today 9:00 - 5:00 so will check back later to see what the others think.

(Katy) I finished my posts and my final reflection. I will check back later this evening to see if there are any changes the group recommends we make so I can participate in that. I think we have a quality document overall.

(Neeley) Wow Katy! You had a lot to say...I really enjoyed reading your comments, and I'm glad that you didnt agree with everything said - I think it goes to show how differently people view things. You worded it great! No need to apologize - I usually cant get to this class until Thurs or Fri anyways. I think your viewpoints will help our grade. I kinda just skimmed the other statements, but I'll review them and see if I think I should change anything or look over some of the IEP a little more in depth. I do not think we should condense out answers. I believe Dr. Williams asked for a specific format - "(Name) statement." So that she can tell who contributed and what they contributed. Let's leave the format as is...but if some feel like they should change their answers...or if they feel strongly about staying and dont agree with you - we can post the discussions on here. I'll be checking in this afternoon, but wont have time this evening. If I make any more edits, it will probably be closer to midnight. (Sue) So I hope it is o.k. to bold and underline what I think looks like consensus on the questions. You can change it if it looks like I made a mistake.

(Katy) I love the bold, it looks great. There is one edit that says (Katy), but it isn't mine. It is the last comment for question 1. Does anyone want to claim it? Sue? (Sue)I'll check it out:)) I might have done it in my sleep, LOL, but I'll just leave it blank for now.

(Neeley) I was confused on all the bolding and underlining...then I read the discussion...all makes sense now! Way to go team! :)
