About the Ethics Essay

This week my team had to write a collaborative analysis on an essay of our choice regarding a topic in information technology ethics. Searching for and finding an article wasn't a problem at all. We just went into a search for "information ethics" in a couple journals and waded through the results until we found one we liked. Well, I found one I liked, and I suggested to my group that we use that one. I found it difficult to communicate and collaborate with teammates on the rest of this assignment, though. I think it's mainly just the timing of the semester; everyone is scrambling to finish all their projects in other classes and leaving an ethics essay until last minute. I won't lie. I'm one of those procrastinators. At any rate, four of us didn't post up our portions of the analysis to Google Docs until a day or two before the due date/time, and one of us didn't do anything at all. So, here we all were, waiting for each other to write our parts. Finally, it's too late to wait anymore, so what we have is what we have. Google Docs, by the way, was a great way to collaborate on an assignment like this one. We didn't get a chance to talk about who would put it all into a Word document and create a title page, etc. So, it's now four hours before the assignment is due, and it looks like I'm the last person who is going to add anything. I guess it's up to me to compile it all. I really wish I hadn't procrastinated so much.
