REFLECTIONS

How do I feel about working in a team on the bridge building project

• The project serves as an ice breaker as well as a way to expand our knowledge. Though we had our share of troubles, we completed our project quite smoothly and produced an end product that we all could be proud of. I feel that working in a team is much more different than working by your own.When you work in a team, respect and responsibility are crucial factors in order for you to complete the given job. These are the things that I'll have to work on...

What do I think about your interactions with the members in your team?

• Everything was fine and we interacted quite a lot. There were times when there were disagreements but we worked everything out by discussing it and finding the best way to construct the bridge. Everyone in the group contributed and voiced out their opinions politely. In conclusion,I find it quite a pleasure working with them.
• What have I learnt about myself in the course of the activity and what would you have done differently in future group activities?
• Post this activity, I found out that I enjoyed working in groups. Previously, I had worked in teams but everyone basically kept to themselves and did their own thing. However, my experience was different this time. Everyone played a part and worked together to complete the task successfully. I would try to interact more with others the next time we have such an activity and would also do things in a more systematic way.
• Did I experience any fear(s), discomfort(s) and apprehension(s) working with this team? Why?
• I didn't face much challenges in this activity though I felt irritated by how the way we worked at the beginning. Everyone was researching their own thing and we did not really interact. Though, as we started to familiarize with each other, things turned for the better.
• How do I overcome them?

• The problem was solved naturally after we got to know each other.
