Week 5

What happened?
Our group met in the lecture theatre, one of our members had a doctors appointment, 2 were delayed because of canceled trains and one didn't turn up to the lecture.

In the lecture, after our 2 delayed group members had turned up, we were asked to create our own criteria in our groups to be marked on for the first assignment. After we had completed this every group shared their few assessment points they had come up with.

Then in the workshop we were given a sheet listing all of the criteria that were given by the groups in the lecture, and in our groups we crossed off the points we didn't want to be in the criteria until we had six criteria left.

After this we continued to expand our essay as a group, each inputting our own comments as one person types up everything into a suitable essay format.

It should also be noted that the member that left the group has suddenly decided to be involved again.


Thoughts, feelings, assumptions, beliefs, values, attitudes...
It will certainly be interesting to see how us giving ourselves our own criteria to be marked on effects how we make the essay. I feel this will be a good skill to learn.

I hope that the member that left the group and is now back puts in suitable work for the group and doesn't drag us down or drift off again.


Reasoning and thinking behind actions and practices...
I think we are all happy with how we are working, and are optimistic about finishing the first assignment.


Evaluation
Good: We completed the tasks given to us effectively and properly.

Bad: The group member let back in may slow processes down.


Reconstruction
Speed up the process of writing the essay.
