Reflection on Project Proposal

Ever since peer tutoring ended, our project team have embarked on our proposal of 'Bridging digital divide' in Singapore by tackling on the issue of technophobia. Although our team started out late due to our indecisiveness in choosing an issue/problem in Singapore, we managed to finish all primary and secondary research in the time frame given and started out on our proposal. One of the challenges we faced was meeting online because I have to work night shift but we solved this issue by setting time aside during our breaks in school to meet up and discuss about improving the proposal. 

It was an enjoyable time working with my teammates as everyone were cooperative and did their parts and roles. After every meeting, everyone were sure of what they were suppose to do and we set a deadline to be done so we could consolidate all of our findings. In addition, to ensure everyone knows everything about the proposal, we proof read each other's parts and edit it so there is consistency. Life was made easier with Dropbox, Google Drive and Whatsapp for effective communication and work distribution. Our group dynamic was good as we were open to opinions and clarified with each other when in doubt. 

Having a better time management will be an improvement for the next group project so there will be time to salvage the project if anything happens due to unforeseen circumstances. Having a team leader would be beneficial to steer the team and make sure we are on the right track every time as for this project, everyone respected each other since it's a small group. Overall, I had a pleasant time working with my responsible teammates as we do not always get/choose to be together in a team with strong team players.

  1. The two takeaway pints you have mentioned are indeed crucial for good team-driven projects Isabelle- time management & a good leader. Nonetheless I'm glad your experience was still positive.
