Assignment 1a

Well, the powerpoint presentation is done, handed in and initial mark had been reported back. 29/54 - it is the second lowest mark. Oops. Such a shame to get a low mark after all the hard work that had been put into it by all but 1 person in our team.

I found this assignment incredibly difficult. It is probably just as well that it was a group task because I had no idea what it was really asking us to do - and it I'm completely honest I still don't!

The idea of collaborating with complete strangers was quite frightening. As we began our 1st chat session it was madde known that three of the members actually had worked together before and their friendship became obvious as they started to discuss having a get-together during the holidays. In fact I suspect that 2 of the three may have even asked to be in the same group - can't be sure but when you look at the group listings you can see where Arthur accommodated requests. I can see why this request might have been made - one of these people was the hardest working and the obvious leader of our groups and the other was the slackest and, to be completely honest, the laziest whose contribution was so poor that it had to be redone. By the rest of the team while she was sick in bed - apparently. I could vent about this for hours but won't.
