How to... Self Evaluation.

What Role(s) did you take on in the group?

Design was split equally although some were more lengthy than others, there were 5 different products to design and so we designed one each. I took on a leadership role organizing what needed to be done, giving out time frames for both the brief and the presentation.

How well do you think you preformed in the role(s)?

I think I performed very well, I finished the initial design of my product (without backing card) a couple of days before deadline as I was keen to get started. Later adding the instruction card to further improve the product.

Took on the leadership role well, everything managed to get done and everyone knew what they were doing in the presentation.

How well do you think you worked as a group?

I think we worked well, we all managed to work well together listening to each others ideas and managing to agree. Good communication between group members. Everyone chipped into the project. The only downside was people's work ethos began to lag once we had finished the design and moved onto the oral presentation.

What were the positives of working in a group?

Sharing the workload!

Having the idea/ choice to bounce ideas off of one another.

Using each other for research as the project was aimed at students.

More ideas from higher volume of people.

Everyone had different skills to bring to the table.

What were the negatives to working in a group?

Sometimes not being able to get across something you really wanted to say or do. Feeling like you have to wait for others. I had asked group members on a couple of occasions to do some personal work at home and the next day to no avail it had not been completed. I didn't particularly want to take on the leadership role, i prefer equality but at times I felt like I had no choice, and therefore had to end up telling people what to do. 

What will you do differently next time?

Right from the start share out responsibility.

Know how to use illustrator so I don't have to ask others for help.

Where could you have improved your resolution.

Show our research more- collect more evidence from more people and not just our group of 5.

Shared out the speaking more in the oral presentation.

create a more interesting presentation.

What were the strengths of your presentation?

Everything got finished.

Informative and easy to understand.

Covered every aspect of the kit in detail. 

research behind the lifesaver card.

The design concept - illustrations, camo etc. 

having the actual kit made in person and not only as a slideshow.
