Week 6

What happened?
Our group met early so we could have extra time to work on our essay. Some of us huddled round one computer and continued to expand paragraphs, others went off to their own computers and did research.

Although we were spread out, with some doing different tasks, we each did our part for the essay and all "rotated" our jobs.

We then got news that our lecturer was not going to be in today to do the workshop (there wasn't a lecture), so the groups were instructed to create their own criteria for the 2nd Assignment. Our group was focused on the 1st Assignment so we did not focus on this next task much.

We continued to work on the essay till the end of the lesson.

Thoughts, feelings, assumptions, beliefs, values, attitudes...
I felt thinking up our own criteria for the 2nd Assignment, where we have to make a 3D artifact, was harder. I think this is because the spectrum that is on offer is so vast, creating points to be marked upon, are that much harder to pick.

Even though the group member that hadn't put in much work was late to the meeting, I felt he put in a decent amount of effort into working on the essay this time.


Reasoning and thinking behind actions and practices...
I think we are all happy with how the essay is coming to a close and are optimistic about its quality, however we got too focused on it and neglected other tasks.


Evaluation
Good: Working great, together as a group, wrapping up the essay well.

Bad: Group becoming too focused and neglecting other tasks.


Reconstruction
Take more time to step back and organize ourselves as a group.
