Project Management
• Alek was taking courses at UCLA during model construction and could only be in Davis intermittently.
• The original plan was to have Alek begin consolidation of each lift of clay, and subsequently have Lijun, DongSoon, and/or Chad adjust consolidation pressure.
• Lijun was paid from project for one quarter, and DongSoon was paid by nees@UCDavis to help optimize consolidation system.

Project Management
• Alek could not be in Davis as often as needed during model construction, and too much of the responsibility was borne by Lijun and DongSoon.
• Who was ultimately in charge of the model became unclear as Lijun and DongSoon increased their involvement (at the expense of their own PhD studies).
• The test was ultimately very successful, but I would never do it this way again.

Lesson
• The person responsible for the project (student or postdoc) cannot effectively take charge of the project remotely, and if possible should plan to be in Davis during model construction.
