Final Thoughts

Ok so it seems people aren't happy after all then!

In my opinion, we all did a fair and equal amount of work.

I offered to do the powerpoint in the first week, everyone agreed that they would tell me how they wanted their slides and I would put it all together. I offered to do this because when we joined together as a group, NO ONE SPOKE! I had to start all the discussion. So I went away and made a start.

Then Charlene emailed me saying that we should all put the powerpoint together at the same time as a group. This is fair enough, but when we first met up in the learning centre, only me and Raj had completed our slides and brought them in. No one else had done this.

Charlene then decided she would do exactly what I had offered to do in the beginning.



Second meeting...Charlene was not there. Raj sat at the computer and filled in our parts of the handout sheet with all of us (minus Charlene) contributing our sections.



What annoys me about this whole situation is that no one who has had a problem has spoken to me face to face. When we met up, everyone was nice as pie to each others faces. If Charlene had discussed her thoughts with the group instead of ranting about it after the presentation we might have been able to sort something out.



Emma, I apologised at the time and I do so again now for the late reply by email, other assignments were also due at this time.



What have I learnt?

1. Never assume people are being honest. If they appear to be friendly, they might still have a problem with you.

2. I agree with Charlene, I don't like relying on other people for a decent grade.

3. I think the presentation went well overall, we ALL contributed equally.

4. Next time I will be very wary about who I am in a group with. I want to work with people who want to do well and will be honest and speak the truth face to face, rather than through emails and blogs.



Thankyou Mark for all your help and great lectures and trip to London!



Well done to EVERYONE. We ALL did well.
