Submitted My Last Assignment For The Semester

I have just submitted my last assignment for this semester. It is a big relief as doing assignments is the most dreadful stuffs to do as a student. This assignment was a group project and I am tasked to collate all the materials from my group members to compile it into a report. For every group project, the certainty of facing a plethora of problems is inevitable. Problems like no proper citation, sending an error document, late submission and so on. Thus I had to do the coordination part to call, highlight the problem(s) and remind. Haha, I felt like an irritant myself lol so persistent in contacting them. But overall, the quality of work that they had submitted was good and after compiling it, it just felt like those frustrations or problems did not exist at all as everything was worth the efforts.

I do not mind doing group or individual assignment because each has its own suite of challenges. Well, doing group project is that there will be inputs from other people and the workloads can be divided. Compared to individual assignment where you will be more or less on your own. The con of group project is group meetings where everyone will come together to discuss on how to tackle the project. This will usually consume a lot of time where everyone has their own ideas and how to compromise every given inputs to minimize disagreements. Therefore you can have numerous meetings and everyone is still trying to maneuver to reach an agreement for the project. This is definitely a huge challenge as being working adult cum part-time student, most of us do not enjoy the luxury of time. Thus it is extremely vital to choose the right group members with the appropriate working attitude. I am glad that for this semester my group members are wonderful people to work with.
