Group Evaluation (Malayan Tiger)

It is time to review your ‘mock project’.  As a group discuss and answer these questions on your group wiki/blog/webpage.

The Project

1.     What area of study did you choose?  Why?

Human and other species, because it was an assignment passed by the teacher.

2.     What did your group hope to achieve?  What was your proposed outcome?

To raise awareness about the Malayan Tiger, we planned to raise awareness on the Malayan Tiger among peers via our article.

3.     How could you critically evaluate the success of your outcome?

If we were able to raise awareness among our peers.

4.     What were your specific group roles and responsibilities?  How did you organise them?  Was the allocation effective?

Our project was quite straightforward so we basically all did research and took turns writing the article, this enable us to find better info faster and more easier and finished the article faster

5.     Did your project have enough scope for every group member to play an active, full time part in the group work?  How could you improve this?

Yes, since we had to research many aspects of the Malayan Tiger, everyone had enough research to keep them, but I felt that the info was lacking, maybe if the group more motivated the research will be better

6.    Was the workload manageable in the time frame?

Yes it was, as we were able to divide the workload equally among ourselves, so we found it manageable

7.     How effective were your minutes and agendas at keeping the task on focus?  How did they help you?  How could they improve them?

They were not very helpful as we did not really refer to them, in the next assignment we could perhaps improve the agenda, by organizing the agenda so keep can keep on track.

The Perspectives

1.     How did you gather information and opinions/viewpoints from a personal, local/national and global perspective?

We first searched in internet for information then we discuss about it whether it is relevant or not.

2.     How did/could you make sure you consider all these perspectives in your project?

We discussed it among ourselves to see if they are relevant.

3.     Would your outcome need to be accompanied by some additional explanation or elaboration?

Not really as our outcome is too just raise awareness

4.     How could you make sure you include cross-cultural views?

Send the information to other schools
