I think we should all share our ideas about what to include. Well, yes, but we need to have some ideas now of what we're going to do when we present it, otherwise we're just gonna look stupid, we're not gonna look like we know what we're doing. Well, yes, that's what I'm saying, I'm not saying don't share our ideas but I'm saying... I think we have to communicate our ideas onto the board. What for though? The way I see it, is that we'll start with the effective and ineffective approaches ddim. Rwy'n golygu chwarae'r bwysig gyda ni'n ddechrau llunag ac yn dweud. Roedd atthod. Ardych chi'n ddod chi?

Let's move on because we've got ten minutes left and we've only looked at effective so do you want to look at ineffective now? I've got to go. Brilliant. Sorry, when are we meeting next week? At the same time. See you later. Good commitment. It's very rude. OK, how about we finish this list and we can update Rob next week. There's quite a few big personalities in our group. At the moment I don't really feel comfortable challenging them. Especially Shareen because she's a little bit bossy. But I know it's only because she wants us to get a good mark which is fair enough. And I get the impression that she's probably done quite a lot of group work before and she thinks she knows the best way to do it. The only problem is she needs us to let us make decisions as a group instead of telling us what to do. Vicky's nice. She includes everyone and she's quite creative and she agrees with me about the leader thing because I think it's ridiculous to have a leader at our age. The only problem with her is I think she's more worried about the group getting on as a whole rather than the final presentation mark and I really want to get a good grade. Musi's nice. He's like me quite quiet. It just takes it in and says something when it needs to be said. I think he might start to irritate Rob a little bit though because sometimes he needs things repeating just a few times so that he gets the gist and I could see Rob getting a little bit irritated with him already today. Really not sure about Rob. He could be okay but he's obviously only here because he has to be and him and Shareen are definitely going to clash a little bit. I just hope they don't have a big argument because that's going to make it so much more difficult for the rest of the group. I think my role is probably going to be writing the presentation because I like that much more than actually standing up and speaking. If we all try hard I think we could get quite a good mark. My first impressions of the group is that everyone seems to be okay but I think we're going to need a strong leader to make sure that everyone pulls to the weight. We have got hell of a lot of work to do and we don't have much time to do it. We've got really tight deadlines on this and I'm not the kind of person that just leaves things to last minute. I like to get it done on time. A lot of the time the group seems to think it's okay to just sit and chat and I suppose I'm just worried that some of them might let us down. Vicky seems alright. I think she's going to work quite hard but for some reason she just seems to want to challenge me quite a lot. I don't think she understands that all I'm trying to do is push us forward and make sure that we get everything done. I just think we haven't got time for a lot of happy kind of groupy stuff. I think Dealer appreciates that. She seems to be quite quiet but I think she'll be good at presentations and the guy seems to like her which is good because someone's got to keep robbing check. I think Rob is a lawren to himself like he turned up late today and then he decided to discharge himself early so it's obvious he couldn't give a toss about the project which is nice. Actually it's not nice. It really frustrates me because I'm 110% committed to this and it'd be nice if everybody appreciated that. I think Muz does. He's also pretty quiet but I think he's just trying to grasp what we're doing at the minute and I'm pretty sure we're going to have to carry him through but at least he's trying. I've led groups before you see so I kind of know what it's like to make decisions and delegate tasks plus I've learnt at work as well so I think we'll be okay if someone just makes some decisions and leads the group. They've asked me to talk about first impressions in the group and whether they think my first impression will change of anyone in the group as the project progresses. It's an interesting idea but I can't see it working. I mean first impressions are usually right but mine don't usually change. I've done a bit of psychology at high school so I know a bit about this. Apparently when you go for an interview the interviewer has already made his mind up about you as soon as you step foot in the door. You haven't even had a chance to open your mouth so what's the point in that? It might as well just line everyone up outside and pick the person they think looks right for the job. See I don't think people can make their mind up that fast but I make my mind up pretty quickly about people and I stick to it. You want me to name names? Shireen. She's really goby. Really bossy and annoying. She's always got her mouth open. She's always telling someone to do something. She's getting on everyone's nerves, especially Vicky. Vicky's cool now but I can see with Shireen just pecs at her head Vicky's going to explode in her face. Delia hasn't said much yet. I think she's just bored. She looks bored. She sits there with that bored body language twiddling her hair and biting her nails. She mightn't just be shy. I don't really know what to say about Muzz. He's really doing my heading. I know it's not his fault because he can't speak the language properly but if we keep having to explain everything to him twice we're never going to get anywhere. Me. They probably think I'm a right pain. Did you see Shireen's face when I left? Oh, the learner loved me. I've been asked to speak about my first impressions here today. I think it was good and I think it went well. I think that once we all get used to each other it will be fine. There are some people who like to say a lot and some people who watch and listen. It is my first impression that Rob and Shireen say a lot and maybe Vicky too. Sometimes people say a lot because they know a lot and they say a lot. But not always. Sometimes people like to fill up space with talk because they are shy and they are not entirely convinced of what they are saying. Me and the area we watch and we listen. We will say something when we have something to say and the need to say it. First impressions. I don't feel comfortable talking about the others. I think I made a good impression while I hope I did. Although I could have been a bit more organised at the start and suggested that we make an agenda right at the beginning. I've worked in a group before and it was horrible. Everybody argued and we didn't make decisions as a group so I really don't want that to happen again. I want to make sure we all get on well together as a team and that we make decisions together as a team. We are all pretty clever so we should do this project really well. We have only met one so it is hard to say how I think the others will contribute. We have just got to remember to communicate and to make sure that we draw on all our strengths like Shireen. She is really focused and really committed and I think she will keep us moving along really well. Muzz has loads of ideas for the content and he seems to be really keen on making notes so I'm sure he'll record everything that we do. Dealey seems really thoughtful and I'm sure she'll be really good at helping us put the presentation together and making sure that it's all relevant, all the content is relevant. Rob, he's really funny and he keeps everything relaxed. I think he's capable of more than he let us on but he's playing it a bit cool. On the whole I think we're a good team and we'll work well together. I'll get going then. Shouldn't we just give Rob a few more minutes? OK. Sorry, I'll let you hold which runs over. It's going to be a problem, why don't we just start five minutes later? Cool. Right, well my notes say we agreed to start this meeting by allocating tasks so to save time I've drawn up an action plan. I've given us each a task to do. Spread the load. That's really good terrain but wouldn't it be better if we agreed these tasks together? Well, I thought that Rob, you could do all the techy stuff like organising equipment and things. Vicky, writing up the notes, like taking notes in the meetings and then typing them afterwards. And Delia, I thought he'd be quite good at drafting the PowerPoint presentations. Did you get it all printed off then? Could you produce it all printed off? Thank you. Oh, nice bunches. We always do that in the canteen. One time I actually had a water fight with them, they got cups of water on my hand, I was super sick as I was running in the canteen, squirted all the way. OK, shall we continue, Miss? Right, as I was saying, if we all take on one responsibility then we'll make sure that everything gets done and it gets done efficiently and we've got it by the deadlines basically. But what about the actual content? Who's going to research it? And also we need to prepare it and present it. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say if you'd let me finish. Do we have any joy? Right, the presentation's 20 minutes long so we've each got four minutes in spite of us having done the maths. So if we all present our own little bit that should be good. Thanks for that, that's a really good starting point. What's everyone else think? What if I don't want to be in charge of equipment? I don't want to take the notes everywhere. Why don't we take your plan as a starting point and then we can agree the task we want to do between us? Yeah. It's really interesting. How'd it go down? Brilliant, they've got some really good feedback. Right, well now we've got all our tasks sorted and we know what we're doing. Why don't we decide what's going to go into PowerPoint? Hang about, who decided we were doing this PowerPoint idea? I want to hear more about this role-player thing. The PowerPoint is much easier. Anyway, it's in our action plan now. What do you think, Delia? Delia's happy to go with PowerPoint, are you? Look, I'm not saying PowerPoint will be bad. I just think a role-player would be more interesting. It's not quite as predictable. I really like the role-play idea but I think we're getting a little bit ahead of ourselves. We haven't even thought of the content yet let alone how to present it. Come on, if we can't decide on something in this space we're going to be here all day. Why don't we just vote on it? Right, who's for PowerPoint? I still really like the role-play idea but it won't work unless we're all committed to it. How about we compromise and we use PowerPoint to do the introduction and conclusion and then a role-player to demonstrate the barriers? So, how would we do this role-play? Well, there's lots of different ways. My friends use a mock interview and that worked really well. We did it at work. We acted out customer complaint scenarios. I know it's not the same as here but it's just another idea. I don't think we're just making a lot of extra work for ourselves. Why don't we just do PowerPoint like we agreed? Like you agreed, Cherine. Let's not waste any more time on it now. Visibility on the screen is usually the colours are. So, actually, I was thinking a blue text will work better on a yellow background. No, let's just stick with green. I think we're starting to get off track now. Shall we move on? We haven't really thought about this presentation. I mean, we're worrying about the colours when we haven't even thought about the audience or what we're trying to say to them. I think we've just jumped in without doing any planning. Well, I said that right from the start. We need to organise. Yes. I agree. It is important to be clear about what we are doing and to get it right. So, why don't we talk about the audience and the objectives for the presentation? Yeah. Okay, so we've decided on the purpose and the audience for the presentation. So, what's the next step? I think we should think about our personal experiences as a learner and come to the next meeting with the summary. I think also we need to evaluate and consider our experiences. Okay, so how are we going to do that? Well, we could come up with a set of questions. We've only got a few weeks left, yeah. Yes, but this is the important part. We need to think about it so we know what the barriers are. Okay, so we need some questions, but what questions are we going to ask? If you just listen to much rather than interrupt him all the time, you might get a chance to tell us. You never let anyone contribute. It's not all about you and how you want to do it. Come on, we're all under pressure. You know, we've wasted a bit of time today, but we've done some work as well. Time's nearly up anyway, so I think we should finish now. I'll get notes off everyone and I'll do a summary and email it around. Thanks, Rob. Sorry, Sireen. It's all right. Come in, Liz. Rob's doing a summary. Let's come over him. Maybe it's a sign of things to come. Don't hold your breath. So in my head, I know what I want to say, but it never comes outright. It's frustrating. Back at home, I would never have these problems. That's really interesting. I hadn't thought of it like that. No, I haven't either. But like 40 minutes has passed now, so I think we should get some work done. Yeah, this is the main content in the presentation though, so it is work. Yeah, you're right, but we probably should move on now. Why don't we just all write our own bits down? I'm just looking at this. We can't do four minutes each on our learning experience. The presentation is only 20 minutes, so that won't leave time for an introduction or a conclusion. Yeah, but we're not doing four minutes each on our learning experiences. We're just speaking for four minutes in the presentation. We just make one list of barriers and present one, and besides, if we all speak about our own learning experiences, we'll repeat each other. Oh, I thought we were all going to talk for four minutes on our own personal experiences. Me too. No, I think Vicky's right. We'll just make one list and then introduce one each. Yeah. Each student should deliver an aspect of the presentation. So we're right. It doesn't have to be a commentary of our personal experiences, and it doesn't have to be four minutes each either. Okay, so we interpreted it a little bit differently, but it's not the end of the world, and I think this is better because it gives us more scope about who can present what. We wouldn't have this confusion if we had someone leading the group making group decisions. Well, I said we'd have a leader in the first week, but you didn't want one then. If we're going to have one, I could do it because I've done it before. We're doing okay as we are. We don't need one if we all work together. Yeah, I don't think we need a leader. We're not kids. What do you think, Rose? I think you should be a leader, Delia. Yeah. Look, I will lead if everybody wants me to, but I really don't think we need a leader. I'm no offense to Delia, but if we do have one, I think we need somebody that's got experience of leading groups. We need someone that's going to be strong enough to move things forward because we're running out of time. Well, actually, I have got some experience, and maybe what this group needs is someone to co-ordinate rather than dominate. Oh, well, thanks a lot, Delia. Do you know what? If you're so brilliant at co-ordinating, then why don't you take over because at the minute this project's a right mess? I'm not getting a bad mark for this. I say we'll have a vote for leader now. I still don't think we need one. Jones is going to be here in a minute, and we still haven't sorted anything out. We're not working well as a team. I think we should tell him and get him sorted out for us. No way, we can't tell him. We're like complete idiots. Yeah, and it might count against us. But we've done nothing so far but argue. Look, don't worry, we will sort it out, but just don't say anything. But we need to ask about the brief. Yeah, that's okay, but in general, let's just tell him things are fine, okay? We'll just... Hi, can I join you? We'll see how it's going. So how is it going? Good. I think we're doing very well, but we are having problems understanding the brief. We're not sure what you want from us. For example, how many minutes shall we speak for? Well, that's up to you. Just as long as all six of you present. There's only five of us. That's the names I've got. I've got six on the list. It was Liam Brown. I've got Liam Brown down as a member of the group from day one. He's never been in, mate. Can one of you get in touch with him and tell him when and where you're meeting? We could, but I've allocated all the tasks now and we've drawn up an action plan and stuff, so if we get in touch with him, we've all done our action plans into us. Look, it's not a problem. I'm sure we can find things for him to do. Okay, so is there anything else you need help with today? No, I think that's all. Okay, you sure? I'm going to be booked up for the next couple of weeks, so today really is your last chance. Have you got a list of the equipment that we need to give to them? I'm on to it. So you've not done it, then? I've just said I'm on to it. And I think that we only need to request equipment that's not already in the room. Nice one, Delia. See, I said you should have been leader. Do you know what time slot we have on the day? Can we go after a break? I don't see why not to make a note of that. You'd better remind me on a day, okay? So if there's nothing else, I'll be getting off. Mm-hmm. Okay? Right, well, I look forward to seeing you after lunch on the day. See you. Thanks for coming. Well, that were a waste of time. I said we should have just told him. I don't think it would have been much help anyway. So should we go through what to put on the slide, then, one by one? Yeah, I've got PowerPoint and laptops that we could put straight in. Well, shall I just go through what we've got before you type it up? One, introduced team. Two, outline content of presentation. Three, barriers to learning. Well, full four, I have written how to overcome barriers, but I'm not quite sure what we're going to include here. It says here we need to be drawing on the personal experiences of the group and relevant theory. Maybe typing it straight into the slides isn't the best way of doing it. Let's be more creative and maybe do a mind map or something and gather all our ideas together. We need to find some theory for these barriers here. Look, someone bring them next week. So how are we going to do this role-play? How about an interview? That's boring. Let's just get all our ideas down and there's no such thing as a bad idea. Oh, we could do it like a game show, because I saw a group do something like Who Wants to Be a Million Erwants, and that was really good. You'd make a good host, actually. Yeah, we could do it like Big Brother or Joey Springer. Question time. That's really dope. I thought there was no such thing as a bad idea. Don't be so touchy, dearie. You know what I mean, it's just me. We need props. And costumes. For Jerry Springer? No, for all of them. Shall we decide who's going to present each bit? Right, we need one person to do the introduction, one person to do the conclusion, and then three of us to do the role-play. Does anyone know if this Liam guy's going to show up? Forget about him. Do you know how many times I've emailed him? He must have left the course or something. I'll do the role-play. I'd rather not do the role-play. I'll do role-play, then. It sounds like a lie. I'd like to do the conclusion. Well, I think you should do role-play, Moes. Why do you say that? It's quite an important bit and we need it to be clear. That's not fair. I know Moes has got an accent, but I understand him perfectly. I know I have an accent, but if I practice, I'll be fine. Okay, so Vicky and Rob do role-play. Moes do the conclusion. Then why don't you want to do role-play, dearie? I'll just get really nervous and mix up my words and stuff. I'm all right if I've got the powerpoint to prompt me, so can I do the introduction? Anyway, I think you'd be good at the role-play. No, well, I'm happy with that. Okay, well, I'll script the role-play and bring it next week. Nice one. Big time. Shall we get on with these powerpoint slides, whilst these guys meet for Vicky? Here, we can start, I must suppose, but we need that theory really off Vicky. We should do it if I've got a lecture at 10. You've got a mobile, aren't you? You can ring her. I'll drive. Is she in? Well, she looked all right when she went out last night. She could at least ring us and let us know if she's not going to come. What are we going to do then? She's scripted the role-play? Has she sent you anything? No. Do you know what, Rob? We're just going to have to start from scratch today and we're going to be a week behind. We're going to have to do all the work that she was meant to. This is why I don't like working in groups. I always end up doing everything. Do you? She's just getting ridiculous now. She's like 20 minutes late. Where is she? We're just going to have to get on with it. What do you think we should have in the role-play? You can't just ask me like that. I can't just think of it at the top of my head. She was desperate to do this role-play. Do you know what, we should just do a PowerPoint if she can't be bothered? No, no. I'm starting to like the idea of this role-play. I think it'll be a laugh and no one else will be doing it. Right, will you write it then? I'll have to get a coffee. That's the answer, Shari. You know, I'm glad Shari is not working with us. She always gets worked up about everything. She's alright. She's got a good reason to be cross, ain't she? Vicky should have emailed us something or at least switched her phone on so we could contact her. I'm sure she's got a good reason for not being here. I mean, it's not like her to let us down, is it? Maybe something has happened to her. Hope not. It's probably just something silly like the bus has broken down or something. I'm sure she'll be here. In the meantime, if you wanted to help, you could look for the theory. What's the point? Vicky's already done it. You might as well just wait for her stuff. Maybe you should do some powerpoint also. And then, if she does show up, at least it'll be useful to check the role-play covers all the points. Yeah, that's a good idea because there's no point just sitting here and getting all worked up about it. Alright then. You two get on with the powerpoint. It's not like she's let you down, is it? Right, so we should add that in the bar. That's the easiest. I'm so sorry, I'm late. I really couldn't help it. We've been trying to call you. We've got to set out the slides for the barriers as well. Is everything okay? Not really, but I'll leave. Look, I've done the script and here's the theory. Thank you, Vicky. Are you okay? Yeah, it's a long story. I'll tell you on the way to the lecture. Okay, well what do you want to do? You can see that I've written the script already. I know, but we've been working on powerpoint now because you've been gone. And to be honest, Vic, if you do this on the day or someone doesn't turn up we're stuffed if we're doing roleplay. Look, I've said I'm sorry. I will be there on the day. You're acting like I've ruined everything. I spent ages writing that script. Right, we'll do it then. And I've researched all the theory as well. You know, I've done tons this week. What have you two done? You've offered, no one forced you. You've done a really good job on this theory. I'll then add it to the instruction. It is actually really good, Vicky. Shall we get on with it? Guys, I was thinking about this assessment last night. We haven't even talked about it yet. There is something about that in the brief. It says the assessment criteria is in the module back. Yeah, it is, but it's ages since I've read it. Has anyone got a copy? I know we get assessed on the presentation and I think we have to mark each other as well, but I can't remember any more than that. Yes, no, no. I thought also where to assess each other. I think that would be very interesting. If I'm marking you that, then you've all failed. Well, Liam definitely has. Maybe he's dropped out. That won't affect our mark, will it? We won't automatically lose a sixth of our mark or something. Well, that's not fair. It's not half all that he can't be bothered to show up. I'm going to email Jonesy and get on to it and make sure we don't lose any marks. Yeah, he's such a hero, Rob. Well, you can have 2% for being the gobbies member of the group. It's funny. Stop flirting. This assessment is serious. Jonesy. We're going to be assessed on how we deliver this presentation, but how do we assess each other? Well, I think you usually mark each other around things like ideas, contribution, commitment, stuff like that. Well, what's to stop us from giving each of the top marks then? Yeah, but I could say I'm going to give you 4 marks and then not do. No, no, but we can trust each other, can't we? Look, it doesn't work like that. Then it looked like we hadn't done it properly. Well, like, you might not give me a very good mark for ideas, but then give me a good mark for designing the slides. And I've written the conclusion. Guys, if we think tactically about this, yeah, we can give each other good marks, but in different areas just really subtly. Yeah, yeah, that's the good idea is that we'll give each other overall good marks just with different points of view. And it will look at all suspicious when we all mark each other so differently. All right, we need to get our story straight after we've read it. Since we haven't read it, how do we know our presentation's going to meet the assessment criteria? Well, we do know some stuff. We know that we all have to present and that the total time's got to be 20 minutes. I don't see what else is that's important. So will we get individual marks on the day? No, I think we get an overall group mark for the presentation. As long as our presentation's good and we all speak of it, we should get top marks. Depends on your marks, eh? How do we know that the other groups aren't going to mark us? What? The other groups can't mark us? They don't see what we've been doing. Neither's the tutor, though. I suppose they're just marking us on the presentation and the content and stuff like that. No one sees all the work that goes into it. So that's why we have to mark each other? It's all right. If they give us a bad mark, we'll just give them a bad mark back. But how would we know? Seriously, I hadn't thought about them marking us. What if they mark us down so that they look better? There's no point worrying about that. Let's just wait until we've read the criteria and then we'll talk about it. I've got to be honest. It was complete rubbish. Is it really that bad? Yeah, it was. We've got to do better than that next week, guys. It was awful. But that's what we're here to talk about today. How to make it better. We don't want to make it better. We want to make it great. I want to get a good mark out of this, Moes. Okay, great then. To start with, you can stop being so stupid. The role play was just a joke. Thanks, Moes. It's been hours on that. No, no, no, no, Vicky. Your writing was good. I meant the laughing. Yeah, you couldn't even hear what you were saying cos you were all giggling so much. Yeah, well, at least we were boring. Oh, you did be read off your nerves. Be fair, Shari. She did look up once. Yeah, I've got to agree, Delia. You've got to learn your introduction. You can't just read it out. It looks so unprofessional. I think you've been a bit unfair to Delia. We only wrote it last week. She needs more time to learn it. She's had eight weeks. Oh, come on. You know I only wrote it last week. Well, that's what I mean. Why did we only write it last week? We had ages to do this project, guys. I said right at the start we needed someone to push things forward. But would you listen? Look, I'm sorry, but I've had enough of this. Look what you've done now, Shari, and you're really upset. And me? We all had to go at it. I don't think we gave her constructive feedback. You must all apologise to her when she returns. Yeah, we might have been a bit rough on her, but she clearly hasn't looked at this. And it's got to be right. She's always going on about how many presentations she's done, but she doesn't really show, does she? Well, she's written a lot of them. She's always said to us she doesn't like getting up and speaking in front of people. Yeah, well, that's tough. We all have to present a section and we know that from the start. I even swapped with her so she could do the intro. I really wanted to do that bit. You've made such sacrifices, haven't you, Shari? I'm so glad that's over. I was really nervous. But the other guy said she couldn't tell which is good. I've been practising all week because I was really worried about messing it up and letting the others down. And it must help me make some prompt cards, which was great because actually I didn't end up looking at them, but it's just the security of having them there just in case you need to. I'm definitely going to put something in my evaluation about nerves and overcoming them because it's been a really big problem for me. But it's been really valuable doing this because when I graduate I plan to look for jobs where you're probably going to need to do things like presentations. So I'm glad that I did it, because I was really nervous about doing it. The whole project has been an awful lot of work, especially considering it doesn't count for an awful lot of the module. I've heard quite a few people complaining about that, but I think it's been worthwhile because we've all gotten something out of it. Well, say all of us, not Liam, because she had been told him to get lost when he turned up today. And if I have to mark him, he's definitely getting a big fat zero. To be honest, I'm a little bit worried about marking the rest of him, but I worry a lot, so it'll probably be okay. I think I'm probably going to give everyone a four overall because in a roundabout sort of way, we've all put in about the same amount of work. Even though Rob didn't take on any of the big tasks, I don't think that's totally his fault because Shireen and Vicky wouldn't let him. In Shireen's case, I think that's because she's got really high standards, so she just wants to make sure that everything's up to scratch, and Vicky just feels that she has to volunteer for things that otherwise they won't get done. Those two didn't get on too well, actually, but they didn't let it hinder the process, which is good. Actually, the group did split a little bit. It was like Mimos and Vicky who got on really well, and then Rob and Shireen ended up being quite palli, too, but I guess that's just what happens with group work. You'll never guess what happened today. Liam had the nerve to turn up. After all, I've been trying to contact him, and he's been blanking it, and then he just turns up expecting to join in. I told him where to go. I just stood up to Dr Jones, didn't give him a mark for it, or markers down for it because it weren't our fault. Apart from that, it went really, really well. The role-play was really, really funny, and we managed not to laugh, and Rob was brilliant. I've really actually grown to quite like Rob. At first, I thought he was going to slack off and stuff, but I think he's really put the work in. The power point was good as well, and Dealey and Muzz were really, really on it. I am glad we did the role-play. I think it was something a bit different and creative, and it made us stand out. All I've got to do now is just do the marking sheets. There's only four categories, so it shouldn't be too hard. I'm just kind of thinking that the four categories don't give me enough chance to say how much work I put in. I might as well have just slacked off and let everyone else do the work, like Rob. But I've got my self-assessment to do anyway, and I think I can get across how hard it worked in that, so I'm pretty pleased. I am glad that's over. I was nervous as hell. It went all right, like, and guess who showed up? Liam. No replies to our emails, nothing. Just showed up expecting to get a mark for it. Well, Sharon told them exactly where to go. And even Dealey or Muzz started chipping in. I think it worked in our favour, actually, because everyone kind of had a laugh about it and then let it go and, you know, calm the nerves. Dealey's introduction was spot-on. She must have worked really hard on it, and if she was nervous, she couldn't have told. I hate to blow my own trumpet, but the role-play was amazing. Everyone laughed at the right moment. Even Jonesy cracked a couple of smiles, so that's got to push our marks up. Muzz's conclusion was good, really clear. He did forget to ask if anyone had any questions, but Vicky just jumped in there. It was seamless, like it was meant to happen. Jonesy popped a few questions at us, but they were pretty standard. He asked the same questions to the same groups, so we were a bit more prepared for it. It's a bit of an anti-climax, really. Now it's all over. I know I said that I didn't like working in groups when we started this, but I've got used to it. It's all right. We've had some laughs. We've had a few arguments, but I think I'll miss some of them. We're going to meet up and go for a few beers, and I'll definitely see more surene. Today went really well. It was very good. It was a lot of hard work overall, but yeah, it was good. It went better than the rehearsal because the rehearsal was not so good and Delia got upset, but it was a good experience because today Delia, she was okay. Vicky wasn't giggling so much this time, and Rob also, he wasn't being the clown like he was in the rehearsal, so he was good. Shirin also, very good. For me, myself, yeah, I was okay. For me, the language wasn't such a problem this time because if I practice what I have to say and the rehearsal, I'm fine. For me, that process worked very well. I think we will get a good mark for this because as a group overall, I think we work hard and I think we work well together. Rob says I think I will get a good mark because he even he thinks I did well today. Rob said this. So I think overall I will give the group five out of five. Yes, I agree with that. Also, in the whole of the group, we have lots of different personalities. Delia is very quiet and shy, like me, but we get on very easily with each other because our personalities are the same. Rob and Shirin, they are very loud overall and I think this all helps together with the dynamics of the group because lots of personalities combined together can actually work well and I think we did overall. Yes, we should be proud of what we have achieved. Oh wow, that was brilliant. Our role-play was ace. I'm so glad that I convinced the rest of the group to do it. We're going to get such a good mark for that. And Muzz and Delia's bits were brilliant too. When Muzz forgot to ask if anybody had any questions, I stepped in and it seemed like it was meant to be that way, so it was all good. I have no idea why Delia was so nervous because she was really good. Well, I've finished the reflective assignment now, so I've just got to do the peer evaluation. We've got to mark each other on a one-to-five scale based on the last 10 weeks and everything that's happened throughout the project. Delia, well, it took her a while to get into it, but she has offered to do a lot and she's kept us really well planned, so I think I'll give her a four overall. Shirin, well... Shirin and I have had our differences and to be honest, she's spent more time flirting with Rob recently than focusing on the project, so I'll give her a three. Rob, he... Well, he's done more than I expected him to do, to be honest. He did sort out some of the arguments, but he didn't really do much of the work, so I'll give him a three, maybe a four. And Muzz, well... Muzz kept us really focused on the academic side and to be honest, I had no idea Muzz was so clever until about halfway through and he's had tons of ideas, so for me Muzz is going to get the highest mark. I'm going to mark myself a four because I did do most of the work and the role-play was my idea and Liam, he's going to get a big fat zero for his amazing contribution of nothing. I can't believe he had the cheek to turn up today and expect to piggyback on the back of all our work. I don't think so.
