Overall Reflection For Week One!

Before we could start doing anything on our BFM assignment, we had to choose our groups. I decided that the two people that would be best to work with would be Angela and Michelle. This is because all three of us are very organised people and we like to get good marks, so that means each one of us will put in 100% so we can get an A. The first thing my group did was we came up with some ideal NPI charieties we could use.

Some things that were successful in my group was the fact that all of us came up with some brillant brainstorming ideas. Since Angela, Michelle and myself can up with several different charities, we had to think up ideas that would best suite each charitiy but we still had to keep to the criteria sheet. We came up with heaps of different NPI as well as other non-profit charities. Since I didn’t know a lot about must of the NPI and non- profit charities I did some reasearch on each one to get a better idea on what they did. I then shared this information with Angela and Michelle and this helped us come up with a list of products or activities we could use for our NPI.
However, my group needs to improve on a few things for next week. The main thing we need to improve is to be able to get straight to the point and then move on. At first my group didn’t understand what we actually had to do for this assignment so we spent a lot of time trying to figure out what we had to do. We simply could have solved this problem by asking Ms King if she could help us. Overall, if my group can do this (get straight to the point and then move on) next week, our future tasks completed quicker.

The only thing I learnt this week was about many of the NPI’s. Since I didn’t know a lot about many of the NPI’s Angela and Michelle chose, I took it apon myself to find out. I learnt numerous things about each of the NPI’s.
My group got along pretty fine but we did have a few arguments here and there.I will admit I was in some of the arguments but luckly the arguments were solved over time. Next week I would really like to get a lot more work done. I would also like there to be less argue in my group. As I discovered, when we argued we wasted very variable time!
