What roles did you take on in the group?
In the group, I recorded and produced the ideas and came up with possible solutions. Also, I contributed to producing the Powerpoint Presentation that we gave at the end of the brief. Primarily, we produced stuff mainly as a group, with group decisions and imput rather than working individually or assigning tasks to people.
How well do you think you performed in the role?
I think I did well in the role as the Presentation was succinct, successful and clear to read.
How well do you think you worked as a group?
I think we worked well as a group as there was no arguments within the group and we managed to produce a solution to the brief.
What were the positives of working in a group?
The positive of working in a group was that it was a great ice breaker in regards to meeting people in the year and getting to meet new people. Learning the ways in which people worked and thier appproach to work was eye-opening as it was very different to mine so it was great to see thier own styles.
What were the negatives of working in a group?
Trying to get people to take on board what you are saying is a negative of working in a group as people have thier own way of working and thier own style so its difficult for them to accommodate for other people in thier working style. Communication was a negative to a degree in terms of meeting up and finding each other in college to work but in regards to the brief itself wasn't as much of a problem as it could have been.
What will you do differently next time?
I would personally take a different approach to producing a solution. Not enough time was spent on producing initial ideas and brainstorming them. The short time amount given on the brief may have contributed to this but it's still no excuse. It's from this that I think is what caused the solution to be (albeit successful but) slightly weak.
Where can you have improved your resolution?
If I had another week and longer time to produce thier brief, I would produce more cards so that there was a larger series of accents, regions and characters so it was alot more comprehensive of the student population as a whole. I would also have a front cover as it would seem quite random to other people without a context of thier purpose when they would first get them in a student pack to get them without knowing thier purpose. I would have a detachable back page that would be used to get feedback from the student population and I would design a container (like a letterbox) where they could be put in anonymously.
What were the strengths of your presentation?
The strength of our presentation was that everyone in the group said something which meant that we showed the unity and cohesion that we had created during the brief as a group. Plus, we practised several times before we presented it so it was well rehearsed but the downside was that, because it was that well rehearsed, it meant we presented quite fast and came under the 5 minute timing.
