Group Projects
Just some reasons why I am sometimes so afraid and sceptical about doing group projects:
- My project group mate confidently volunteers to undertake all presentation duties, and when you ask him how confident he is of presentations, he says he totally sucks at it and have problems designing powerpoint slides.
- My project group mate rather uses an ugly powerpoint template (and I really mean ugly) on his notebook, instead of a nicely designed template on mine, just because his laptop has a wireless click-to-advance-slide function.
- My project group mate decides to stare at his laptop's small words during presentations, rather than using handy cue cards.
- My project group mate says that powerpoint presentations can be great by just using semiotics, and all words can be omitted from the presentation, just pictures and graphics will do.
- My project group mate gives up halfway and says 'heck care la, everything also can one la'.
Am I just being too cynical here, or am I right to say that the points listed above just too hard to tolerate? Well, but projects are a huge core of my major modules, so I guess this is all part of the learning process. On hind sight, I have also had alot of experiences with great project group mates, so I guess it evens up.
To add, today's advertising mcq test is perhaps one of the hardest mcq test I have ever done. It was also one of the first times I have finished reading both the lecture notes and textbooks, revised through them a few times, and yet still cannot do the paper. Quite upset as it adds on to the list of horribly done assignments and mid terms this sem. Save Jeremy's Semester Scheme doesnt seem to be working too well.
Oh and my room fan is finally repaired, after surviving two days in my hot and stuffy room with only one small semi-typhoon fan. My ceiling fan now spins 3 times faster than usual. Literally coolness!
