Project Attitude

I'm currently at home nua-ing around, after returning home at 4.45am from school last night. It was a record breaking 14.5 hours working at our project. We just kept re-editing our parts and doing up other parts under the direction of a group mate. My friend says this group mate would never submit a report that's not A standard. Lol. Don't know what grade we'll get but I'm hoping it's an A. The project is crazy cus the lecturer really expects a lot. She normally teaches MBA and maybe the project she gave us is MBA standard. 25 pages, single spacing (longest report yet) on a company planning to enter two countries.

Well, after doing numerous projects for 3 years, I have some insights to offer regarding projects. The teams whose projects get A are those who keep meeting up, re-editing and asking questions about each other's part. Just like an unpolished gem, a report requires polishing. Of cus, the group also needs someone who keeps pushing the fellow group mates to improve on the project. Last year I had a project mate, J who kept pushing, and I think we did really well. Even though I only got slightly below avg for midterm, I managed an A for the module :) I asked around 3 of my group mates and they all got A too. Really grateful to my friend!!!

 I wish I'm the one who pushes, but I was never the one to push. I hate lengthy project meetings but that's when the group come together and share ideas. Haha I think it's time for me to change my attitude, and embrace projects a bit more. Take initiative, think more and question others, so we all learn at the same time.
