Individual Report (Pulau Payar)
From the project, I had understood the topic of island and the Pulau Payar’s environment and condition. Besides that, I also knew that after doing this project are important of the milestone of this project and teamwork to do task. Other than this project, I also understand about digital media simple but not basic notes teaches by lecture like sound, graphic, image and adobe software like photoshop, dreamweaver and flash. Those tutorials can help me improve learning skill on computer knowledge. For every project actually also having few problems faced. But we already solved the problem together. For example, sometimes some of the group member can’t find more detail of information then we will try helping it to find more detail of the project once they ask for help. Besides, when we divide task we facing unclear information so my group leader manage to lead clear information against all group members. If I have a chance for next time, I will do it better than right now and keep on improve what I had done right now.
My motivation level was moderate because I just interest on what I had learn on digital media; but not in design part. So, I still try my best to do and finish it this project submitted on time. First, talk about my group was do all task punctually and no other conflict between us; we were divide task equally and help each other as well. Then about team leader, he was playing a good post on his part; he was leading us how to manage our job and tell us the problems we are. Next is tutorial group leader; he was led all the group leaders well in his role. He was created a facebook group to put all related information to us. He makes us submit project punctually on time. The working of the project got a bit slow because some information from lecture is not clear enough for students. And this project need update every week and we can’t manage it on time due to other subjects’ assignment and works to do. So, sometimes will delay the time and forget some else work for this project. I was updated what I had done on my group blog and individual blog too.
As I say before, my teammates was played their own roles punctually and no conflict between us. We still can manage on it and help each others to get information of this project. Besides, my team leader led us well and mange us divide task equally at our post’s part. He was the good leader insist. My personal evaluation is I still need improve my time management on project and divide time equally to all subjects’ assignment task. Besides that, I need to more understand what is the project about because sometimes feel not clear about the project task about. Last is about my team members, I am glad that I have such good team members to help me solved problem each other and teamwork on this project.
