    Group project Reflection
    Overall, the group project went okay. The brochure itself turned out well in the end, but the actual presentation could have gone better. One of my group members did not show up without letting us know, so I had to improvise reading his part on my own, which was less than ideal. I also had a hard time getting in touch with my group members throughout the entire project, giving me a lot of stress trying to complete it without any communication. If I could do this project over again, I would ask for my group members phone numbers rather than their email, maybe making it easier to reach out to them. I would also try to establish our plan the day we are assigned groups, because we did not get a clear idea of who was responsible for what pieces until about a week into the project. The highlight of the project was finishing it and presenting and knowing that it was over after that. I do not like public speaking or presenting to people, so this was not an enjoyable experience for me. When I have to do different group projects in the future, now I will know what to do differently.

  2. I believe my group and I did a very good job when we presented our brochure. I was proud of myself because I didn’t really stutter any of my words when it came to presenting my parts of the project. After presenting, I don’t believe there is anything I would have changed about this project. I like the way my brouchure turned out, we had all the facts we needed. I believe we met every requirement that was needed for this project to get a good grade. Overall, I am very happy with how my group and I did, and I feel confident if I have to present anything in this class again, I would do well.

  3. I think our group project went well. I feel like we did well even though we were missing a teammate. Our presentation would’ve definitely been better if we weren’t missing someone because we didn’t know the specifics of his information. I believe that our brochure was well formed and looked aesthetically pleasing. I liked that we had to put our own pictures on it. It made our presentation more personal. One thing I might’ve done differently is present more of my information. When I actually went up there, I forgot to talk about a couple of my points. I feel like our highlight was making time without our third group member. We were worried that we wouldn’t make the time requirement without him on such short notice. However, I feel like we were able to make the best of our situation and make our presentation long enough.

  4. group reflection:
    overall I think that we did really well. we met quite a few times and I think that that may have helped a little bit because we didnt have to be on task we could talk about other things and still get the work done plus we got to chose where we wanted to meet and when. this project wasn’t as bad as I thought that it was going to be. I enjoyed creating it. in the end it was a Lot of fun.

  5. Overall, I liked doing this group project. I think that we all did a good job presenting, and I was also really happy that we stayed within the time limit, which was something we were kind of concerned about going over during our practice run-throughs. The group I was assigned to was great, and I think that we all ended up getting along really well. I also enjoyed getting to do something different in class, and I liked how it was a project that allowed me to better connect and gain more understanding of what goes on in my campus community. One thing that I think we could have done better as a group was time management. Even though we ended up getting everything done on time, we were sort of in a rush to finish the project and collect our quotes before it was time to present. It was sometimes just difficult to find a time to meet up that worked for everyone’s busy schedules. But I would say that one of the biggest highlights was definitely hanging out as a group and talking while we worked on our project. It felt like it took a lot less effort than it actually did because we all worked on it together and had fun at the same time.

  6. I loved the project. I got to see all of the reasurch happening on campus for 3 differnt majors and I was able to tour facilities I wouldnt be able to access for a long time. I liked my group a lot and we worked really well together. I like how long we had to do the project as getting some quotes and tour schedualing took some time and I was able to do those without worry of a late submition. Overall I feel like the project was a really fun one and presenting was a lot easier than expected.

  7. I think the project went pretty well. My group was great, and I thought we met enough to make sure we knew what we had to do, and what we had already done. Something I could have done a bit differently was really looking over what I wanted to say in the presentation, and practice maybe one more time by myself, so I would not leave any content out of my two parts. I think the group did well as a whole. A highlight was how after or before we actually worked on the project during the meetings, we would just talk about how we were doing and what we had been getting up to outside of school. Because of that, I think I know my group much better.

  8. I think overall our project went fairly well. I think we had good communication in our group and while we did not meet up a whole lot out of class we did communicate and I feel evenly did our parts of the project. I do think something we should have done differently was meet up more out of class. Like I said we did communicate a lot but I think it would have made it easier if we had met in person more but we still did just fine without as well. I think the highlight was that we did all participate equally in different ways and it did not seem as though it was up to just one person to do everything.

  9. The group project went well for my group. We were efficient and were able to complete work on our own time that also came together to create a fluent brochure. We made sure to include examples we were all curious about and during the presentation we all took the slides that we were most interested in / had the most knowledge on. I don’t have anything bad to say about the project or how my group worked together I thought it was an overall neutral experience for me.

  10. Overall I thought my groups project went really well! We worked together as a team really nicely and had so many different ideas to add to our brochure. Something I could’ve done differently was practice my slides more to be more prepared and not stumble over my words. A highlight was my group making connections within our majors.

  11. I thought our presentation went really well, everyone was well-prepared, and we maintained a strong flow throughout. If I were to improve anything, I would suggest adding more visuals to the slides, as well as including more key information about how the school is working toward sustainability. We could have expanded on the wastewater treatment plant or included links to relevant resources. Overall, I think we did a great job as a team. One of the highlights for me was going around campus to interview professors and faculty; I found it really interesting to hear their perspectives on how UNE can become more sustainable.

  12. The project went well as far as gathering our information but working with word was somewhat difficult and didn’t allow our brochure to look the nicest. I think we all did an even amount of work that got us to a good place in the end. We were somewhat nervous for the presentation aspect while we practiced but once we got up there for real we didn’t have as much slip ups or mistakes showing we just needed to push through. We had good communication throughout the project but we could’ve done a lot better if we had more opportunities to meet up. It wasn’t for a lack of trying but it was difficult to get our schedules to line up.

  13. I enjoyed working with my group for this project. We worked well together, and we were very productive. I liked our final brochure, and I was proud of the work we put into it. If we ever did this again in the future, I would probably work a little less on the project outside of class. We worked a lot on this brochure outside of class, and we ended up finishing early compared to everyone else. I would probably space the work I do out more. I really enjoyed working with my group. Our vision for our brochure aligned perfectly, and our work ethic is extremely similar.

  14. I was very happy with how my group went about our project. I think we communicated very well, put in a lot of effort, and most of all we were very efficient. We used our time very wisely. We never put the work off, we got everything done in a timely fashion. We also split up the work very well. We delegated quickly, saying who will do what. Everyone put in a very equal amount of work. Overall, I am very happy with our final product, and the work we did to get it to where it was.
