Starbucks

Meeting Details:

To complete the report with final touch-up being done.
Objective of meeting
  • Completion of all unfinished sections
  • Completion of Executive summary
  • Final touch-up of report.

This meeting was essential to ensure that all loose ends to the report were done and all corrections of errors are completed before the submission to our advisor. This meeting would serve to complete our report and tidying up the report. The executive summary was also done in this meeting to complete the report.


My Reflection:

This meeting provided us the opportunity to fine tune the different aspect of the report with amendments being made and improve the quality of the report as a whole. Mistakes that were pointed out by Christine were also amended.

The team did some research on how to come out with an Executive summary as most of us do not have a clear idea on how to come out with an Executive summary. After which, the executive summary was crafted and edit by the team. This is a crucial section in which the team try to ensure that it is as short as possible. We read from the net that the executive summary should be short and sweet, easy to read and comprehend. This is to ensure that it triggers the interest of the reader to read the rest of the report. Thus the team manage to craft a short Executive summary in-which briefly describes what is done in the report.

The team also manage to tie up all the loose ends in the report like for example the literature review. We were able to complete the whole report and ensure that it is ready for a 2nd proof read before submission.

All in all, a fruitful meeting for the team so as to complete the whole report and be ready for submission as predicted.

Meeting with Christine to proof-read first draft..

Meeting details:

This meeting was to get the advisor’s view on our report thus far and understand what are her concerns and expectations for the team FYP report.
Objective of meeting:
  • Identify errors within the FYP report
  • Fine tune the FYP report
  • Understand advisor point view of team’s report first draft

This would help us by identifying what we lack in the first draft and aid us in fine tuning the report. The first draft is still raw and this step of meeting with the advisor would give us an idea of what we are suppose to change and add to beef up the report and also fill in what is missing in the report.

My Reflection:

This meeting was fruitful as it gave us an idea what is expected from us by the advisor and also her opinions on the team report. This was the first draft of our report and the content of the report is bound for changes and amendments.
I feel that the team was efficient in the meeting as the advisor only had one hour for the team and we managed to take down the points that she pointed out and gave her quick suggestions on how to solve the issues. Working together, the team manage to end the meeting with all the objectives met and also had an idea of what amendments should be done after the meeting.
This meeting is a crucial step towards completing the report. This would help us in submitting a report that both the team and the advisor is satisfied with and ensure that we submit a good report for grading.

E66R Kenneth CMPB

Meeting details

Objective of meeting:
- Check through report to see what is missing
- Complete individual task
- Discuss how conclusion should be done

This meeting was set to provide the team a place to complete their individual task of the report and also to check through the report to see if we miss out any of the sections. The team would also discuss the different elements required in the conclusion for the report. The team decided that it’s going to split the task among the individual sections and complete it based on 2 points per section to be compiled for the conclusion section.

My reflection:

I feel that the meeting was essential for the team-members to complete the different task allocated to them. This is evident in the previous few meetings as well. The team manage to accomplish majority of the report. The meeting in school provided us the platform to ask each other how to do certain things when we are unsure and we were able to help each other in completing their tasks.
This meeting helped us identified what is missing from the report and also gave us the opportunity to device a method to complete the task and split the job up. I feel than having team-mates by your side really aids you in completing the task faster although at times it acts as a form of distraction as well.

Meeting in E66R indiv work 3rd Dec

Meeting Details

Objective of meeting:
- Completing of individual tasks

The meeting was supposed to provide the team a place to complete the tasks assigned to them for the report. This meeting would provide the team time and opportunity to complete their task. It is also a platform for communication and discussion.

My reflection:

I think this meeting shows the importance of working together as we needed to aid each other in doing our work. Just like when i helped Xiu Hui with her part in the report’s literature review section. The section is tasked to the both of us and this is the only few chances that we get to meet up and complete the work. We split our literature review notes to come out with the analysis of it.
This meeting shows the importance of working together as a team this provide us an opportunity to communicate with each other and complete those task that we are suppose to do together and also be able to help each other if they do not know how to move on or when they are stuck.
