Weekly Progress
Reflection
1. Communication Skills
This is an opportunity to improve my communication skills as a group member. Normally we used Whatsapp group or zoom meeting to call and discuss the assignment. My group members are active to give out their opinion and this helps us to have more ideas to have a greater outcome. When we are facing a problem, we will have a group discussion or group calls in our Whatsapp group or zoom to come out with a solution. This not only improves our communication skills but also strengthens our friendship.
2. Interpersonal Skills
As one of the group members and also as a team in this assignment, I learned that it is important to listen to other people's opinion. When the group is having troubles, I am responsible to help out and make final decisions together with them after hearing out each of our personal thoughts. We are able to discuss and solve the problem while having issues with the assignment.
3. Digital Literacy
Due to Covid-19, our group members are staying in different places. In this way, our group had to discuss and prepare our Part A task online, without having to see each other in person and this also slowed down our progress. We find a way to solve the problem that is by using the zoom app, we are having a meeting and share our drawings to discuss together. Our group utilized various platforms to communicate and discuss the assignment, such as Whatsapp calls and zoom calls. We are having trouble when we want to start doing the Part A task because we need to prepare it together and it is hard for us to do our part on our platforms. Hopefully, with the help of technologies, we can do the work together on the same platforms that are by using the same link to access PowerPoint slides online.
