Meeting november 30

Meeting Details:

Objective of the meeting:
  • Report crafting; individual tasks
  • Discuss on things that are unclear

This meeting serve as a avenue in which the team can sit down and do their allocated tasks and discuss any doubts that each team members have in mind when doing the allocated task. This is also an opportunity for those who are task to share the work with another team member to sit down and work together in a team.


My Reflection:

I think this meeting gave me the opportunity to work with Xiu hui on the Literature review that we are tasked to handle. It was an effective meeting as we were able to help each other understand what the book is talking about and also device a method of summarizing and presenting what is written in the book into the report.

In this meeting, we also decided on how to apply it back to our topic. We decided to link it straight back to the topic right after each section and i feel it is a good idea as it is direct application after the theory.

The meeting was rather effective as a whole for the team and especially for the two of us. We were able to help each other when they need help. Sometimes, when we do things alone, although we do things faster but when we really need some help, it is always better to have a team-mate there to help you.

Meeting november 24

Meeting Details:

Objective of meeting:
  • Report crafting
  • Do individual tasks
  • Discuss on the tasks that are not assigned e.g. Roles & responsibilities

The purpose of the meeting is to come together and complete our individual task together and when faced with a problem, we would be able to discuss it with the other team-mates. This meeting was also a chance for us to discuss on sections that are not allocated to any members of the team. This gave us the opportunity to discuss and complete them.

My Reflection:

I think this meeting is rather fruitful because it reinforced the idea of the structure of the report. I did the basic structure of the report so as to allow my team-mates to have an idea of what is needed. I also included some of the tasks that were not assigned like the Roles & Responsibility section as well as the topic definition plus the strategies section.

We were also able to help Ally with her analysis of the public survey. She met with some problems compiling and we were able to help her solve some of her queries in the meeting. The meeting was rather important for the team as we are starting the report but we are still not 100% sure on what we are suppose to do and this meeting serve as a clarification platform for most of us. This gave us the opportunity to discuss and learn how we are suppose to go about doing the report.

Meeting november 19

Meeting Details:

Objective of meeting:
  • Start report crafting
  • Split report sections
  • Discuss how to come out with report (structure)

This is a crucial meeting before we start writing our report. This is because we would need to come out with the structure of our report and also what we want to include in the report in this meeting. We also decided on how to split the report and who would be in-charge of which section.

My Reflection:

In this meeting, we manage to get the most crucial part of this report writing done which is the structuring and splitting of work. I was handed the introduction and roles and responsibility section. My main role in this report writing is to help out in wherever i am needed and oversee the whole progress of the team. Basically i would be helping Xiu hui with her literature review, Rayson with his result analysis of sponsors interview and tieing up those loose ends.

This meeting helped me in understanding how i am suppose to play my role as a leader in the report and ensure that the team is going to complete the report on time. I would be contributing by helping in any sections. Basically they are incharge of the sections and others are suppose to help as and when help is needed and my main responsibility is to monitor and help out both rayson and Xiu hui.

Meeting november 5

Meeting Details:

Objective of meeting:
  • Analyze public survey

This meeting is basically conducted to analyze one of the most tedious work of all, the analysis of public survey. With 100 surveys to analyze, we keyed in the inputs with the help of SPSS and discussed on the different questions and how we can make use of those information. In this meeting, we also talk about how we can show the organizer about what the response from the attendees showed and compare it with the sponsors' expectation later on.

My reflection:

Basically for this meeting, i feel it is quite fruitful as we were able to discuss important issues that we gather from the public survey. We were able to device methods in which we can analyze and link back to the sponsors' expectation. We also discussed how to put all those information into charts so as to make it clearer for the report and easier to interpret. We also had some brief analysis of what the numbers showed and noted them down in point form so as to be elaborated in the report in future.

In this meeting, i was able to help my team-mate understand how we can show the numbers collected clearly on charts and also express my views on some of the information that we have gathered and how we can link back to the sponsors expectation as i could remember what the sponsors said vividly.
