Blog 6: Collaborative Writing Process Issues

Introduction

This document is working to find creative ways to help the university address student retention. We have designed a plan that gives students a drive to maintain a certain GPA in return for a discount on their education costs.

Facts and Discussion

Our group has been working together very well! I had to miss the second meeting due to a schedule conflict, but I have talked to the people in my group and got all the information I missed. We all have roles in the group, and mine is Finance Researcher.

Since textbooks are a major source of income for the school, the GPA we have decided is a score of 3.5 or higher. The voucher will be a total amount of what the cost of four books would be during a semester.

Conclusions

As of right now our group has been doing a great job communicating and working together. We all get along and listen to each other's ideas. A few more meetings and I'm sure this assignment will be almost perfect.
