    Dan Parrish:I agree that the learning goals were written as group and signed off as a group Feb. 13 at 7pm. I completed the Task Analysis for the Instructional Goal # 3 on Feb. 15th. Our group singed off on my part the night of Feb. 15th. I completed revisions on Feb. 16th. I haven’t specifically asked for feed from the instruction because I assumed that he would look at my part, after looking at Brandon part. If revisions or changes are need, then I will change my part before the Feb. 18th since that is when the group sign-off is. I believe that our group is currently on schedule. We have meet all of our milestone to this point and don’t seem to have any problems. Had we assigned any part of this to Brian, I believe that we would have missed our deadline. But since we didn’t, we have avoided that problem. -Dan Parrish (Feb. 16th, 9:00am)
    Brandon Payne:The learning goals were written as group and signed off as a group Feb. 13 at 7pm. I thought that since we had 2 days off this week that milestones would be pushed off but everyone is still on task. I completed the Task analysis for the Instructional Goal # 2 on Feb. 14th. We, as a group (wally, Dan, and I) signed off on my part Feb. 15th. I also asked feeback from the instructor and am still awaiting a reply to make neccessary revisions or changes since the group sign-off isn't until Feb. 18th at pm. Currently we are all on track for our milestones. No actions have been neccessary to take for missed deadlines. -Brandon Payne (Feb. 15th, 10:18pm)
    Jim West:Looks like you are in good shape. You should remove your wiki post from the document itself and place them in comments. I emailed Brandon my feedback on the Task Analysis. It is a very good start. You will want to make sure you have drilled it down to include knowledge they will need to perform the skills you want them to.
