Reflective Report - Group Meetings; Preparation and Contribution

Reflective Report

My Roles

My role within the Team was the imputer and the creative member. I had to impute decision sometimes with the help of the rest of the group, but the majority of the time alone. This therefore required a lot of reading and background research. I also had the creative role in the team; this is why I was assigned the task of designing the storyboard and justification of this. I also arranged the group meetings and I seemed to be the main point of contact between all of the other group members. My Belbin Theory (Belbin, 2004) role is a team worker and I believe that is how I came across in this project. I build relationships with everybody in my team, resulting in me feeling respected in the group.

At the start I was set the survey analysis report to do. I started to do this, however it was not up to a group enough standard and Tejal helped out. I think the reason it was not up to scratch is because I was not spending enough time on it, as I was spending approximately two hours imputing the decision. Member of the group where asked to email what they believe should be the decisions, however I never received any from Kelly Sims, and only on one occasion I received them from Zahra Osman. All the work I was given to do was completed, however I do believe that I should of posted it all on blackboard, rather that leaving it until the last day.

Contribution to Final Report

I contributed a lot to the final report. I took the role of structuring and making it look more like a report. This took about 3 hours, as everyone in the group had used different styles, fonts and text size. My main contribution to the report of the storyboard and justification, I designed the campaign, wrote the script and drew the scenes. I used
