Evaluation of group work: project X

Project X

I found group work this year extremely hard due to the lack of listening within my group. With project X I was extremely stressed due to the hand in of my dissertation and I felt the timing wasn’t amazing. Due to this my group didn’t really communicate with me and therefore I never really knew what was happening unless I asked. Due to their being another BA in the group I felt like no one actually listened to me but did listen to them therefore I stepped back. I did turn up most of the lessons, but when I did my group would be off doing something without communicating where they were and when I did ask them what’s going I hardly got filled in with anything therefore I grew a lot of frustration. I got told by my group not to worry about coming in early for the exhibition but then I almost got stabbed in the back as they turned it around as if I wasn’t actually bothering to turn up which wasn’t the case. When it came to sorting out who was doing what in the canteen I got told not to bother coming in until after my dissertation was handed it and I thought my group had understood that considering it was Tomas’ idea… we agreed as a group sam would be first then hand his dissertation in Tomas would take over then me an then Jacob. But when I turned up no one even let me sit there and I then gave up with trying. I had to then leave early due to my car not working therefore I couldn’t stay and needed Jacks help. I had tried emailing back and forth and I will demonstrate that – no one told me the final outcome and I had to work alone to create the cards and was my decision to even create them. I think overall the lack of communication was awful and more like a one person group. I feel like if they had made more of an effort our design could off been amazing. I am angry because my group turned it around like I didn’t bother but I actually did and as tutors know I always try my best and felt like I was let down on this occasion – as no group chat was made just back and forth emails without people actually answering me – and I had to bug for ages to get the finals and send mine.
