In the bridging course, all of us get a chance to do a research project in group. It an excellent chance to practice our ability of team works. As the leader of the group “Peace” for about half month, I have found I discovered some differences and learnt a lot between researches here and those in my senior high school.
In my senior high school, I have led a similar research about environment protection in my city. At that time, I led about 25 students. Teacher asked me to arrange all the work and let everyone do them own part. It was quite easy because I just needed to list out all the work and divided it. That research lasted less than one week and required just a few samples. Moreover, both the data analysis and the report were done by me. Since we were not required much, it was very easy to finish a brief report. However, this time, we are required to do a complete research. We should design a professional questionnaire and collect more samples. It is a long-term work lasting for months. Another significant difference is that a group has only 4-5 members, which means much more work for everyone.
As a group leader, there are also much more things for me. Since it is a long-term project, I have to arrange files used in a folder and keep them up-to-date in order to make sure our work on the right way. In addition, I should prepare for our each meeting, record main points of meetings in order to keep meetings efficiently. Because there are only 4 people, I have to remember all the time to encourage everyone and create a good atmosphere in order to motivate the group. We only have one chance to see our supervisor per week, so I have to make sure we do enough work ahead of time so we can make most of the chance. Thanks to good efforts of each member, our group project is going on smoothly and orderly.
I experienced a lot of differences here, which are challenging but good for our growth. I am trying everything to make our project better and give members happiness. I hope our project can be done perfectly and we can develop our intimate friendships. There seems not to be much time for us to do our report. However, I believe the use of SPSS will greatly accelerate our process of data analysis. We should keep going on all the time. Believe ourselves! We can make it!
Thank you for the efforts you made for our group, it is good to be in your group. We will work harder and hope we can do a good job in the research!
ReplyDeleteI hope you hope. We will try our best to finish our first project in Singapore.
ReplyDeleteI admire you for you excellent IT skills， especially in statistics. May you succeed and gain a lot!
ReplyDeleteWe really appreciate your efforts. I know you have spent more than 6 hours learning the software SPSS. You are a responsible leader. I believe that we will do our research project well.
