Gait Analysis
This project's goal was for the class to learn about gait, or how people walk, by setting up experiments and executing them, and then analyzing the data that we received as a result. The functional purpose of the project was to get us better accustomed to the process that we would soon be using for our Capstone Project, as well as getting us used to working in our Capstone Groups, as those were the groups that we did this project in.
My group decided to use a gForce tracker app on our phone at our test subjects' leg in conjunction with a survey to test multiple different numeric values, such as height and weight, against gait data, such as step force and step speed.

Reflection
Seeing as we were working in our Capstone Groups, I was very happy that our group worked well together. In particular, we were very good at making all of our deadlines, as we got everything in on time, and got it all done well. On the flip side, our group could have improved in forethought, as adding things to our Gantt Chart tended to come after we actually did whatever the thing was, which made for a more disjointed approach to the project as a whole.
Personally, I was happy with my work in our group to enable the rest of my group to work as well as they could. I made sure to be on demand for them, so whenever they needed another set of eyes on something or an extra pair of hands, I would be there to assist. For this project, I could have done better with juggling the other things we had to do in class with this project. I would have to leave most class periods to go and work on something else for the class, and then would have to get caught up by my group at the end of each day, so I could have done more work outside of class to make up for lost work time.
