Hi This is a self reflection and peer review assessment. I have finished and It is done, all I want is just to read it and fix grammar and make it more professional. Please just amend it, thank you.
Self-reflection:
Studying PICT3020 is one of the interesting units I have studied, the experiences and all the leanings I have gained in this unit made me more confident in my future career.
The team project gave me a lot of insights, such as working remotely with the team that I never met before, working on tasks with the team on time, and the challenges we faced during our meeting via zoom which was difficult on everyone’s availability. The final project was very powerful and sensitive topic, which I enjoyed reading and studying about, I never knew that the ABF are very committed in protecting animals from illegal trade in Australia. I was quite nervous that because I had no idea about the topic. However, after doing a lot of research, reading books and having meeting with the team, I became well knowledged about the topic. I have learned in this work placement the importance of time management and successful work. With the very limited time was giving to us to finish the group project, presentation plus the mock job assessments, was extremely hard to finish it. As a result, I had to prioritise most of times to finish the project and the presentation on time with the rest of the team, to avoid falling behind the due date and having my team on the line with me. Also, having a lot of resource it can be very challenging, choosing and thinking about how to deliver the most outstanding project can be significant. However, my team and I had to work closely from having team meetings via online and each one of us was giving a section to work so we understand our parts to present a good work.
During my work for presentation especially for a government company as Australia Border force, my team and needed to ensure to deliver a great presentation with good information. I was worried that my team or I that we could not present a professional presentation. However, my team worked well in terms of structuring the presentation, after each one of us knew their part and sharing resources with the team, we came up with nicely structured presentation and handful information to ABF. Presentation for a professional work environment it can be a quit stressing. I was worried that I was not going to present an excellent presentation, after careful consideration with the team, we have to work and practice numerous times together to ensure we were ready to present. It was a bit harder than usual, because we had to practice and understanding the importance of parts though online and not face to face. But at the end we managed to be prepared for the presentation.
My part was challenging in this work placement, I get to enjoy and communicated clearly with the team and supervisors, it was very amazing opportunity to work with the ABF, and the work I worked on was very interesting. In the future, if will ask for seek more help from team leaders especially if I am a new member to the environment, also I had very limited communications with the team leader, as a result of this, my communication and approaching the group and team leaders have improved, I am well aware how to communicate on the right time.
Peer review
Callum Stalling
Is a great team member, he was the first person to create team chat and communicated with everyone. I enjoyed working with Callum as he was our team leader in the group, he was the first person in mind if I ever needed help. Callum worked closely with each member of the group from setting up online meetings, sending emails to supervisors and the coordinator on behalf of us. I am sure Callum will have a great career ahead, as he was friendly and very helpful.
Shiksha Sharma
Is very smart student, she was also a great and friendly team member. She helped everyone in the presentation, from creating PowerPoint slides to splitting the work between the group. I was enjoying working with a team member like Shiksha, because she was very well known about the topic and the questions. I have no doubts that Shiksha will do great in other presentations and helping team members.
Angus Talbot
Angus was very professional team member, he put a lot of time and effort to edit and work closely with other team members on the final project. Especially he works full time, but he managed to have the project finished on time. I was impressed by him that he knows how to manage his time by doing everything on time. He was also the first person in our group to follow up with the rest of the team if work was not done on time.
Siena Carini
Siena is a nice person, and she was always on time in terms of writing, presentation, and questions. She did well enough in her part, I really enjoyed working with her. Siena presented a great presentation she preformed well with the group. She was the first member to finish everything even before time from long time, she understood her part very quickly. Siena, always shared great resources and useful information about our task.
Natasha Susanto
Is another great team member, she was also the team member finishes her tasks on time. She worked closely with Siena, because they had shared part and they both did manage to complete the part and have it ready by due date. Natasha, communicated well with the team, she always attended the team meetings, she understood her parts with a time frame. She was never late or no show in meetings or due dates tasks.
Tristan Sauer
Tristan, had very tough part he was the one to share a task to do with one of our team members. But unfortunately, the other team member did not really contribute and to help Tristan. As a result of this Tristan did wait for the other team member to help, so he completed the parts on time and with great results. Tristan, never complained, he was always on time on due tasks especially as he was doing work meant to be for two members.
Katherine Ford
Katherine, is a friendly team member, she communicated clearly with each member of the team. She was the first team member to offer help or assistance if anyone was struggling with their work parts. She, always was the first team member to talk and ensure that each one of the teams are ready for presentation and questions to be asked during the presentation. Kathrine has the courage to help and approach the team members if needed.
Ammad Butt
Ammad, finished his work on time, he understood his part and what he should needed to do. But Ammad had a lack of communication with the team, he was the team member who does not share and connect with the rest of the teams. I believe that Ammad, should work more on his communications skills and also how to manage his times from doing different tasks in life. I am sure If Ammad put extra effort, he will do a great work.
