Week Two in Team 6: Trouble Presenting Data
Week two in team 6 was productive and exciting. Although we had a slow start due to an assignment deadline on Monday for the University of Limerick students, we gathered momentum mid-week when we assigned tasks to satisfy the requirements of the assignment brief.
