My group project reflection

"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." ~Henry Ford

The above statement is a classic exemplar of today's working environment and especially in the science and technology field, where working with other people for a particular task, project or assignment is becoming a norm and an indispensible part of many people's career. This can be truly be reflected on many individuals' course of study (includes mine in NUS) which many modules/courses demand students to participate and hand up assignments based on a group effort. Working together might sound easy but being able to integrate each other's work into a single piece of complete work requires tremendous effort and dedication from every individual group members.

The group project in particular is a proposal for the Urban Redevelopment Authority(URA)' s 2011 masterplan. I am very fortunate to be able to work with three wonderful individuals (Bernadette, Caleb and Jacinth) for my ES2007s group proposal. They are responsible, diligent and commited to complete their individual task well. Besides that, all of us had the experience of having need to complete gargantuan assignments in a ridiculously short time-frame. That somehow contributed to a certain level of paranoia regarding deadlines in us. It was such a common notion among us that drove us in completing our parts on time.

One of the criterion for this group project requires the use of the NUS wiki, which in my opinion was not very user-friendy and i found it quite irksome sometimes. This was such an irony that these online platforms are supposed to aid the progress of our project and facilitate documentations of our findings. Nonetheless, our group endeavored and found a way to overcome this small impediment.

The chance to work with a group which have members who are selfless and dedicated are hard to come by. I really enjoyed my time working with them and i appreciate every amount of effort they had put in for this proposal.
