\section{Week 3}
\subsection{Progress}
There has been great progress in our group. We agreed to do one assignment
for the Senior Capstone class a day, and have been following through with
this plan. This way, we have initial drafts of every assignment very early
on, and have a lot of time to review and edit them. In essense, we have
a clear understanding of the project goals, initial drafts of many
of the required documents that we have so far, and a good division
of labor.

\subsection{Problems}
There have been no real problems with the team regarding the project.
We did receive unexpected grades on certain individual assignments
(seemingly indicating an inconsistent grading scheme), but
since members of the group have scored full points on an assignment,
we have a clear idea of what the next iteration of our submissions will look like.

\subsection{Plan}
The plan is continue to finish one assignment per day for the project.
This will keep us on track, while at the same time having enough time
to peer review with each other and other groups. Since one of the group
members is writing a thesis with our client, he currently has weekly
meetings with the client, and serves as our team's point of contact.
We plan to schedule a weekly or bi-weekly meeting with the client
with the entire group to facilitate communication, and to continue
to document the project as per the (already plentiful) information
already provided by the client, and as per the standard senior
capstone assignments.

\section{Week 4}
\subsection{Progress}
As per our agreement, we've been steadily completing drafts of various assignments,
though not one per day (such effort is difficult to sustain with other existing
commitments). We have scheduled a meeting with our advisor to discuss the purchase
of various hardware components, and we will soon have an idea of what parts
we will need.

\subsection{Problems}
Like last week, there have been no problems in the group. A group member
missed a meeting by accident (due to being double-booked with a job),
though it did not inconvenience the other group members, and we believe
no action is necessary. The private git repository in which we store
our class LaTeX files is temporarily inaccessible due to internet
issues, but this had virtually no impact on the team's work.

\subsection{Plan}
Although we've toned down our pace, we intend to continue tackling
assignments ahead of time to stay on top of writing and proofreading.
Additionally, as described in the progress section, we have scheduled
a meeting with our advisor, and plan on purchasing components shortly
after the meeting takes place.

\section{Week 5}
\subsection{Progress}
We have constructed preliminary designs for the various nodes and gateways
that we will have set up throughout fields. With this, we also determined
the components that we may need for the project - after a little more
discussion with our advisor, we will be able to proceed with the purchases.
Additionally, we have contacted our advisor to schedule a weekly
meeting, and are waiting on a response.

\subsection{Problems}
We are as yet unsure about the source of funding for the purchase of our
hardware. We have contacted the TA, and are waiting for more information.
No other issues have come up.

\subsection{Plan}
The plan is to continue doing the class assignments, while at the same
time doing additional research into the hardware components and mechanics
of our project. We will stick with the prescribed class schedule otherwise,
and continue to do some work on an assignment every day. The next
assignment up is the first draft of the tech review.
