And relax.....

Feels great this morning, to wake up and know that all the presentations for the semester are done and dusted and Christmas time can really begin. The app project was a really great learning tool and covered a huge scope. As I've said before the main difficulty was knowing what to focus on but I think we managed to put together a well constructed document. I hope anyway. 

Having missed the presentations last night I can't comment on that aspect of the project, other to say that I was sorry to miss it. It feels weird to half do a project and not see it presented and not know how that all went. I contributed to the presentation in terms of the preparation of the powerpoint slides and deciding how best to approach it with the team. It was hard to know what was most helpful here, as designing a presentation you're not going to be a part of might actually be more harm than good as the presenters on the night don't have ownership of it then. But I think we reached a good balance between me leading the work and everyone contributing their sections to it. 

I was happy with my level of involvement in the project as a whole despite missing the presentation. Sometimes I've felt frustrated in the group projects as I've felt by dividing up the work you don't necessarily gain the benefit of the whole process. But there have been definite benefits to the teamwork, as well as frustrations, and all in all I think it's been a worthwhile learning experience. This being such a potentially wide topic I got to explore things like app design and the app market and did a lot of research that wasn't necessarily needed for the marketing plan in the end. The process exposed me to a lot of information that I had no need to know before this project which I found beneficial. 

So now the time comes to relax......for a few days. And then study for exams starts. So relaxing in January? Maybe?

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
