How to carry out our prototype research

I think we need to transcribe our previous work and take some more interviews on how the system should work before making our design.

group members

Hi guyz,
You all need to start being serious now because it seems like your not taking thing seriously. If your not fully committed then you can ask Serengal to leave the group.

Members of the group have been acting childish over this one presentation you need to grow up, i understand we all have stress and our own problems or your shy, but i don't understand if your being selfish establish the difference you all know who you are. If you want our group to be serious then you need to be serious within yourself. Please take this into consideration.

Thanks
