Reflection on Project Proposal-challenges, triumphs, learning points, possible improvements for the next group project

Having finished our oral presentation and proposal, I felt that I've learnt a lot in terms of team interaction, work allocation and also time management. The proposal did take up a lot of our time as we needed to complete it within a time frame, but I feel that working against time is very realistic and it has helped me a lot in handling pressure. I have also become better at accepting ideas from a different standpoint from different people in my group and this has allowed our final proposal to materialise.

Charlotte has been a focal member of our team. She sets a certain standard for herself and consistently helps me to improve my oral presentation without giving me any form of pressure of any sort. Her contribution to the proposal and research is extensive and she is certainly resourceful in getting information about the project.

I have worked with Isabelle during the peer teaching which made me more comfortable going into the project. However, this did not deter her from showing dedication in completing the project. She gives very good suggestions during our meetings and can be shown to be a exemplary team member to future projects she participates in.

As for myself, the triumph from this project is the knowledge I gained about the digital divide through all the work I've put into the project. Another triumph I am proud of would be the 2 team members whom I can consider as good friends as the project not only shared our ideals about solving digital divide, but it has bonded us as friends as well.

For me, the greatest challenge of this project is to meet all the project deadlines with all the tests going on for my other modules. Fortunately, our team had good time and work allocation and we were able to overcome it. One possible aspect to improve on would probably be our thought process during the meetings. Some of us tend to digress from the main problem which lead to some waste of time. However, I believe that this can be mitigated if all of us had straightened our train of thought earlier in the project.
