Our Reflections...
Edwin's ReflectionI play the role of doing mainly research. I researched on Fort
Siloso's history and discover more than I had expected. I believe that
everyone's contribution is significant to the success of the project as everyone has an important role to play. If one member does not do his part, this project would not have been a success!
There were several problems the group encountered, such as being unable to find time to meet each other as many of us have overseas trip. Other problems such as disagreement with one another and not submitting work given happened occasionally. But
all's well ends well. We
compromiosed and cooperated eventually.
From this project, I have learnt more on
Sentosa's long and interesting history without having to visit
Sentosa. I also learnt more about my classmates and their personality.
Darren's ReflectionIn this assignment, I play the role of the editor. I also did some research on the
Carlsberg Sky Tower.
My contribution was significant to the success of the project, as, without it, precious information on the
Carlsberg Sky Tower would have been lacking. I also did most of the editing of the content. My contribution, needless to say, was important, but, then again, so was everyone
else's. Without the help of my teammates, this project would have been a total flop.
Throughout the course of the project, we did not encounter many problems, because, well, we were really on the ball. The only problem I can think of was when one of the members did not do her part of the project on time. That worked out really well, as she managed to complete that particular part on the day of the last meeting.
From this project, I was, once again, reminded of the importance of teamwork. Originally, I intended to do this project alone, but that, naturally, did not work out. It was after I was invited to this group was I taught, once again, the importance of teamwork.
Rashmi's ReflectionI was the one who called up all of them and arranged the date, time and venue. I sent all of my group members information via the email. As the place of interest we chose was
Sentosa, each one of us were given different parts. And my part was Songs of the Sea. As I was the only one who went there recently, i could describe most about it.I edited and rephrased the information gathered from the
internet and books.
My contribution was significant as not only did I gather information but I tried to link it to the information sheet. This helped us to complete the project.Blog was set-up easily due to the good effort of my teammate,
Qian Yi.Everyone was cooperative and good to work with.
I have learnt how an information sheet is written properly and also learnt how to interact with people.
Groupwork is enriching because each and everyone has good qualities to learn from.
Qian Yi's ReflectionI played the role of constructing the blog, as well as to assist my friends in publishing factual accounts, pictures and reflections into the blog. In addition, I also tried to help out in the research part by doing some research on the
background information cum history of
Sentosa.
As a group, it is inevitable that we share different opinions and views. As a result of the difference in
sentiments, there is a probability of a brewing storm (used figuratively). However, through compromising, the storm eventually died down. At times, despite being in a group, hurdles might not be faced as a group. They may be faced individually. For an instance, A encountered several internal conflicts while just solely picking out the theme of the blog. In addition, my head was throbbing from occasional headache relapses. Eventually, I picked out the colour red as the main theme colour, which was partially a reluctance on my part.
Through this project, I learnt the importance as well as the effectiveness of teamwork. Trust me: it really pays off to be in an
enthusiastic group; to be in a group which exercises teamwork. Moreover, I also discovered and learnt much on
Sentosa; all the events and happenings the little island had
undergone as well as its amazing speed of 'recovery'. Ti end it off, I feel that in a group, sole efforts is not sufficient. It is the spontaneous contributions of the entire group that make the project a remarkable feat.
Hui Ru's ReflectionI attended every group discussion that Rashmi organised. During the first meeting, I find information with my group members together then discussed how to start the project and I gave in ideas for place of interest. I discussed about the format of the information sheet with them and task choosing. After that, we distributed the work equally among us. Next, I helped to find more information about the Underwater World. I edited and summarised it with some help of my group members. We helped one another during the research and summarising part. This speeds up the completion of the project.
The problem is that in every meeting, there would at least be one person that came late. However, whoever that came late are jus late by a few minutes and we have not started our discussion yet. Thus, those who came late will leave later. I learnt about teamwork during the discussion for ideas and everything that we did during our meetings. Besides that, we had fun.
