This is for our ENG-204-003 class.

Collaboration in groups is very important. It requires equal effort and delegation from all parties, as well as equal understanding of purpose, goals, and the intended audience.

As for our group, good communication is also a must; without it, everything else will fall apart. To create quality work, we must create a professional environment in which to collaborate. We must also favor the ideas of the collective whole over the individual. Everyone will be held accountable for their fair share of work, as well as meeting deadlines on or before time.

We decided on a central topic: food quality on campus. We would like to research the quality of UNCW's on-campus food services in comparison to other institutions. We personally believe that offering healthy and nutritious food leads to more productive students; we would like to research the nutritional value of on-campus foods.

We have compiled a list of essential questions:

• What are the benefits of nutritional food?
• How does the college experience affect dietary intake? Is it enhancing or diminishing?
• How does this affect classroom performance, if at all?
• What is the general consensus of UNCW students in regards to food on-campus? If meal plans were not a concern, where would students most likely eat? What does this say about the quality of food on campus? (survey)
• In comparison to other institutions, where does UNCW's quality of food rank?
• Is the quality of food on campus worth the amount that students pay for meal plans?
• What is UNCW doing or not doing in order to deliver quality foods to the students and faculty of the university?
