Intro:

This document will report on the progression of the group project. The purpose of this work is to address the university on student retention. So far we have come up with some great ideas to get students to come to the University of Southern Mississippi. Our group has meet twice, during these two meetings, we have got to know each other and figure out what days work for each of us to meet on. We have also been brainstorming for even more great ideas for our proposal. However, we have come up with a great idea for recruiting more students. That idea is to give students an incentive to maintain a high GPA and receive a discount on their education. Our group has been getting along very well and has had no complications. My hope is to finish this project in two weeks time.

Facts and Discussion:

Our group is right on schedule if not ahead of the game with our project. We have accomplished a good bit during the two meetings we have had. We have made roles for each of us in the group. My role is to do the research and statics on the proposal. We have discussed to make flyers for students to want to accomplish such a high GPA so they can receive a discount on books. The way that students will receive a voucher is to have a GPA of 3.5 or higher. We also discussed different ways of handling the vouchers for the students. The vouchers will be a total amount of what four books would cost a student per semester. There have been absolutely no problems within our group, and no problems with deciding on which way to go with our proposal. Our group gets along very well with each other. During the progress of our group, we plan on getting most if not all of the questions answered. We also hope to get this proposal going very smoothly and finished within a great amount of time. As our group progresses over time, I foresee no problems within our future.

Conclusions:

So far our group has been working really good together. We have all brainstormed and agree with just about everything that each other talk about. Our group is right on schedule and understanding to all of the assignments. We are taking this assignment very serious and we all hope to accomplish this assignment with flying colors.

Recommendations:

The only recommendation that I could suggest is for our Course Instructor and Discussion Leader to keep doing a great job. If there has been any questions or concerns they have answered them in a minimum amount of time. I can tell that they want us to do a great job on this assignment by the way they help us with ways to improve things. Anytime I send an email out, within a very timely manner they have emailed us back with answers to my questions and I respect that very much and I wish it were that way with all of my instructors. So I recommend that they keep doing a great job.
