Freedom!!! NOT!


YES! THE PROJECT IS FINALLY FINISHED! NOW I CAN HAVE A LIFE! Just kidding. This project was quite a positive learning experience for me. Apart from the normal “learn how to type a report” stuff, I found that one of the more important skills I picked up was actually effective communication between team mates. My group consisted of 3 Year 4 students, and being Year 4 students, we were all extremely busy. We did not have the luxury of long team meetings or frequent discussions. We had to make do with the limited time we had together and come out with the project. I am extremely happy with the work produced by our group given the limited timeframe and resources. One problem I found was that due to our busy schedules, we often miss out on certain key points of the project, and only managed to correct it at the last moment. Perhaps better time management on our part was needed. This should definitely be one of the key areas the group should work on as we head into the next part of our project. Keep up the good work team!
