Guest blogger: Daniel Hurst The X culture project is finally over and I must say I couldn’t be happier.  It was an interesting prospect from the start and I wondered how it would work out and how any of us would even communicate with each other.  Turns out, the communication part was pretty easy.  We all had Facebook accounts and…

Guest Blogger: Shannon Sullivan Before starting X-Culture, I was pretty nervous about how it was going to go. With my luck, I figured I would wind up with a group of slackers and would wind up having to do everything on my own. If that did not wind up being a problem, I figured that either time zones or language barriers…

Guest Blogger: Robert Gilbreth As our impending project deadline approaches, perhaps the biggest takeaway I have gotten from X-Culture is a taste of the level of difficulty I can expect when working as an expatriate. X-Culture has been a constant juggling act between school, work, and what is left of my personal life since the project first started picking up pace…

Guest Blogger: Motunrayo Hambolu So far the project has been going good. My teammates are really helpful and understanding, if for instance we have a problem with any of the work assigned to us, the teammates are ready to help as much as they can. We all remind each other when our surveys are due and check up on each other…

Guest Blogger: Kyle Bocci We successfully submitted a draft of our report today thanks to the help of a student from Eastern Washington University who volunteered to edit our paper as a whole.  It’s hard to find a time that a group of people can meet up when they go to the same school let alone trying to do the same with six people in four separate countries…

Guest Blogger: Miao Zhang After several weeks we built very good relationship between each of our team members, everyone plays important role in this project, except one from UK, he disappeared for two or three weeks because of illness, but before we did the draft of final report he came back and really did some work for us, I feel very…

Guest Blogger: Robert Moroney III, Business Administration The project is going okay so far.  Personally the quality of wok coming from some of the students could be better.  I understand some of us don’t take this project seriously, but a lot of us really care about our grade.  I just wish some of them would open their eyes and contribute a…

Guest Blogger: Steve Scott The end is near. The X-Culture project comes to an end next week. I would like to say that this project opened my eyes to new cultures and new friends. Unfortunately, I cannot make that statement. My X-Culture experience was more of an American Culture experience. Only one of my international group members participated. And I…

Guest Blogger: James DiBella Nearing the end of the project, and thankfully everything is still going well. The group has worked well together and everyone has been communicating and contributing throughout. Our proposal is coming together and we are in a good position with a week to go before the final submission. Overall I am very happy with the communication we have…
