At each milestone hand-in, each group member is to individually prepare a written report. This is not to be prepared as a group or with others. This report helps you communicate your ideas, reflect on the process of developing the project as well as the content of the project itself while demonstrating your knowledge about the design, development, and validation of the project milestone. Your report should contain the following information. This report constitutes a significant part of the grade that you will receive on the milestone. It should be between 3 and 5 pages (single-spaced, 10-point font, one-inch margins) in length.
The specific results will be kept in strict confidence, although I might share the combined (but anonymous) responses from a group to an individual member of the group. Please be frank and complete in your responses. Unless otherwise indicated, please hand this in both hardcopy and softcopy using CollectIt.
Make sure to include your name, your group's name, the date, and the name of the milestone.
Add each group member's name, including yourself, in the 2nd row of the table. Rate each person along a 5 point scale with 5 being BEST and 1 being WORST

DESCRIPTIVE and QUALITATIVE comments on each member's part
in the team work (including your own!!). For each member, mention:
Describe how your group worked together. Where and when did you work with one or more of your groupmates? Did you have any problems or breakdowns in communication or any part of the groupwork?
