Aims & Rationale Reflection

AIMS
1) To successfully work as a group and complete the project.
- Make sure that all of the workload is evenly distributed
- Make sure all team members follows the time frame
- Make sure everyone knows exactly their roles and responsibilities
- Make sure everyone participates in all of the discussions and decision-making
- Make sure to record the minutes for every group meeting and decision made.
2) To raise awareness of deforestation, habitat loss, etc.
3) Educate the public on how our actions affects the whole world

RATIONALE
The realization that nothing is being done motivates us to raise more awareness on the severity of this issue. Furthermore, due to the deforestation in Malaysia for the palm oil plantations, it gives us a first-hand experience on how the society can neglect and just oversee the environment and how our actions are affecting it.

We got the idea to do our group project on climate change because of all the deforestation in Malaysia. Malaysia is a developing country that is constantly changing; a lot of Malaysia's forests are being cleared to make way for more plantations and buildings. For our aims we made sure a big part of it was making sure we worked well as a team because if we had a team that was not coordinated it would be very difficult to even complete the project. Having this criteria would help us work successfully as a team.

Group Work Reflection

For the group project on peak oil we had to make a wiki page. Before that, we had to research and find relevant information relating to peak oil. We were given many links to different articles and videos; to make sure our group got all the information, we decided to split up them up. After each of us had gone through the allocated articles or videos we created a google document where we shared all our summarised information. This allowed us to exchange and even add on ideas to the existing points. We then catagorised the information into personal, local/national, global and future perspectives.

I think that we worked well together as a team. We managed to figure out how to carry out a task and distribute the workload. If any of the team members disagreed with something, we made sure to work it out.
