Essay #2 Reflection

1) Your progress from essay #1 to essay #2
This essay did seem easier to write and I knew what was required more than the first essay. I knew where to go for sources and what sources were credible. I think that my writing has improved since my last essay. I think I did well on this essay. I tried to communicate with my partner. I did all of my work and got things done on time. I was a little confused towards the end as far as turning it in, but I think most people were at least a little bit confused.
2)How did your process mesh with your partners?
My process did not mesh very much with my partner's. We mainly did our own thing. We started out with the same process but once we got into writing the essay our processes varied. I did not really know what my partner was doing compared to what I was doing. I do think my partner did the work I think we just needed to communicate with what we were doing. As far as doing the essay goes I think my partner did very well. He did his end of the project. As far as communicating with me what he was doing, did not go so well.
3)If you had it, how did you handle creative conflict? If you didn't, what made your collaboration work?
I guess you could say that our creative conflict wasn't really the problem. It was the lack of communication between each other that caused problems. We were not on the same page all the time and so we did not know what the other person was doing so we just kind of did our own thing. Then when we tried to match up it made it more difficult. Other than the lack of communication, our collaboration worked okay. We didn't really have any creative conflict. When we did communicate things went smoothly and we were both able to say what we wanted to say.
