After four weeks of rigorous discussions and hard work put in this research survey project, I have taken away with me much more than I had expected. This has been a positive and enriching learning experience to a great extent. Though it has just been a short span of time, Danny, Sharon and I have cooperated amicably, with little flaws or communication barriers. We arranged for meetings without encountering miscommunication problems outside regular class. Together, we have managed to brainstorm for various research topics, discuss and finalize the research topic, prepare the agenda and minutes, divide the work for survey collection and analysis efficiently. In addition, I feel that we have built cordial interpersonal relationships and deeper understanding among us during the multiple discussions. All these factors contributed to the efficient work rate and accelerated progress for the research project. The rotation around the roles of either the leader or the team players among us greatly facilitated both processes of doing the research and the churning out of the report. The teamwork is superb as they never failed to provide help and solutions whenever I met with any problems or required feedbacks.
Most of our ideas and thoughts were transmitted through electronic-mails and we cultivated the habit of reading through each other’s drafts. We would also make appropriate amendments if the need arose. After the rapport built thus far, I believe that we can attempt to extend this cordial interpersonal communication skills and understanding to the preparation of the oral presentation segment. Perhaps one aspect of communication which I feel that our group can improve on is the verbal communication section. Occasionally, we tend to be rather reserved in our expressions. I feel that this is an area which needs to be improved, especially for the oral presentation section. Meanwhile, we ought to relax and be more open towards one another to gear up for the preparation for the next team project, whereby verbal communication plays an important role in the delivery of a good presentation. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the great working relationship with both Danny and Sharon. I have utmost faith and belief that we will complete the team oral presentation project with the best team effort.

Thank you very much, Jiahao, for the detailed post and the commentary! I'm glad you three got along so well together (with the "rapport"), and I think the proof of that success in communication is in the report itself. I really appreciate all your hard work with this learning experience.
Hey Jia Hao,
Thanks for the marvellous post. I am glad that the three of us are satisfied with each other's committment, effort and sacrifices for this survey project.
I agree with you that we need to be more open in expressing our views for the upcoming oral presentation. I have the upmost faith that we will put in our upmost effort to deliver the best oral presentation ever!
Cheers.
Yes the OP is the main difficulty and the report is not really as challenging as OP. Shall see how this OP goes. Sure hope this and other OPs will be helpful as prep/practice for the final Honours OP!
Jiahao your group has a very professional and detailed report! How much does the report actually reflects your personalities? For example, detailed report by detailed and efficient members?
After reading Jiahao's post and Danny's and Sharon's comments, the first thing I think of in mind is a "group hug". Good job to all of you!
