I thought that our Case Study presentation went well, although I was still very uncomfortable with the corporate environment of the case study. In fact, I think I am generally uncomfortable with ID especially when there's a team involved. I guess I'm so used to the one-woman show so common with teaching that having to work as part of a team is very foreign to me. It's not that I can't work in a team. It's more a sense of having to depend on myself for everything and needing to be responsible for everything myself. Also, the more meticulous nature of big projects that IDers may be involved in is very foreign to me too. Sometimes I feel as if the time involved in having to go through the entire ID process is wasteful, not because I don't see the value in it, but because as an instructor that teaches three times a week and observes a class three times a week, I just don't have the time for that. In an ideal world, the entire ID process would be very beneficial, but as a busy teacher/graduate student/researcher, I have to compute the cost-benefit. Perhaps that's why I like Rapid Prototyping.

On another front, I have wasted quite a number of hours trying to get the Flash page turning effect to work, without success. We shall see what happens ...
