Reflection

Part A

It was a very long journey to reach this point, the FFOE creative thinking skill was a very helpful approach. I had to think up of many ideas to solve the question that was given to me. I had to identify the real problem and tackle it with the suitable solutions. 

Fluency - Generate many basic ideas regarding the game

Flexibility - Innovate one basic idea into many varied forms

Originality - Using the researched information, further modified the game to fit the criteria

Elaboration - After the selection of game,  refine the game and fill up every details.

As this was done through individual force, the work clearly defines who am I. My habits and my weakness is more obvious in this part of work. Through self evaluation and peer review, I can identify all the things I am lacking. It allows me to understand myself better with a more objective view.

Although this have nothing much to do with the module learning outcome, I am very touched by everyone who help me through this process, particularly the video making process. Even if it is just a little help, it means a lot to me because I understand how difficult it is to spare the time during this busier time.

Part B

Through the lessons from my previous projects, I have realized the importance of communication. After going through thick and thin together for a few months, I think my group members have realized too. We were more understanding towards each other and more cooperative. As a result, we did not encounter any major problem except for time constraint. Even then, we were able to manage our time fairly well by assigning each member to take up certain responsibility, I am responsible for painting our group costume. Although we assigned jobs among us, we still discussed about our individual roles as a group and get opinions from other members.
