Conflict Reflection

Team - Jesharlah, Reina, Eugelyn, Rochelle, Paul
Project - Aerial Rope way in a World Heritage Environment



The presentation was presented very well. The information orally explained was great. Most members were clear when presenting and interesting to listen to. The slides were nicely laid out and easy to read. The colours were simple and i liked the idea of having the important parts of the presentation being highlighted in colour. The presentation made me see things from another perspective as it made me realize that when working in groups i should consider understanding and acceptance of different cultures. It really opened my eyes. I like how the group mentioned different backgrounds and identities and being aware of your own background, which can cause conflict in groups.  The video was well made and gave a clear idea of how conflict can occur in a group assignment. I could relate to the video as ive been in a similar situation in the past which really got me into their presentation. Overall the presentation could have been improved in terms of what sort of conflict the team experienced and how they could resolve conflict in their team.

Team - Benjamin, Daming, Hanbing
Project - The Suprematist Motorbike



I could not understand most of the presentation as the person giving the presentation was very hard to understand and very quiet. When Ben presented it was very clear and easy to understand. The PowerPoint presentation was simple to read and well presented, although the aesthetics of it was very bland and uninteresting. There was very a lot of reading from their script however their presentation did not have blocks of texts and i disliked the fact they read of the powerpoint presentation. The points on the power point were decent and the amount of information was pretty high considering there was only 3 people in the team. 
The video was great with nice effects and clear audio. It was very professional and it demonstrated different conflict examples. The video touched on all the topics they discussed in their powerpoint.

Overall the entire presentation was good despite the fact i could not understand some of he members properly as they were not clear when talking. The information was there and the video sold the deal. The team did a good job.

IP Reflection

Team - Vedran & Alyssa
Project - The Last Suprematist Sculpture

This team did the same topic as we did. I think they had covered a fair amount of topics as the team is only consisted of two people. I quiet enjoyed the video during the beginning of the presentation, it was my favorite part. The oral presentation
could be better presented and have more detail in some areas. I wanted to know more about designs plant breeders rights but I was let down as it wasn’t engaged any further. Some people in the team did not present orally as well as others and it was kinda hard to understand what they were saying. Overall the presentation was descent and i think they covered a decent amount of information when talking about IP. I also thought the information was thorough on how it relates to their project.


Team - Stefan, Ricky, Dorothy, Alan, Maki
Project - The Creation of Gothic Architecture

I personally think my team did very well. I liked how most of the team were loud and thought that the areas covered were very in depth. We had tons of information on how IP relates back to our project and i think we covered all areas whilst making it interesting. The videos maybe could have been better, for example i think if we were in the video instead of a cartoon it might potentially have been more engaging but it got the point across. The referencing was very well done in my opinion by having them under each slide. I personally think i could have done a better job orally presenting as i dont think i came out as being confident but rather dull and boring at times. Overall i was pleased with our presentation and it exceeded my expectations on how it was going to go.
