Team Project Reflection

We had finally completed our first major part of you team project. The mini-trail on Friday and the presentation on Monday, with the time in between whirling out of our grasp as we tried to finish. 

What challenges and successes did you experience in the planning and execution of the mini-trail?

Most of our planning and execution of the mini-trail was successful, having the day end with lots of work done and answering all of our questions. At first, we did have a little trouble deciding where to go. At first, we decided to go and interview a worker at ACMF, however that didn't really work out with our jaws dropping to the ground as we realised their office was in Sydney. Luskily, we had a back-up plan: to interview Helen Marcou. The only real problem was that we didn't have all of the interview details worked out until the actual day of the mini-trail!!! Despite the (VERY VERY VERY) small hiccup, everything worked out and we ended up having a great time interviewing her.

Considering the team project so far score your team out of 10 for the following and then write a paragraph justifying your scores:

Organisation & time-management: 8/10
I was pretty happy with the overall outcome, however we hadn't really finalized our mini-trail until the actual day and when we were meant to be presenting on Monday, some of the information STILL WASN'T ON OUR GLOG!!! (be we had done it beforehand)

Sharing the workload:6.5/10
About sharing the workload... it was split 31/31/31/7. I felt like one of the members didn't put as much effort and enthusiasm in as the rest of us. They only did their part, failing to load it onto the wiki and on the day of the presentation, lost their speech. It was thanks to another member that the presentation still went on.
 
Communication: 9/10
We communicated pretty well. We all had each others' phone numbers and whilst some of us didn't have one (or the other), we all could communicate, whether it was on Viber (app on phone where you can call and text for free), Skype or Facebook.

Reflect on your experience of public speaking during the presentation. What did you do well? What could you improve?

For a non-confident public speaker, I actually think I did alright. I tried to involve the public, which, I guess, went well, had a bit of eye-contact and I spoke with a clear(-ish) voice. What didn't work was probably that fact the I was pretty nervous before it was my turn and people could see it!!!
