Please answer these questions:

(1) State what the shared responsibilities are during the course of the project.

Loo Wen Yao: For my opinion, may be my group is unique and different with the others groups due to just only 2 members. So, it’s quite comfortable for me during this course of project. To be honest, I do not like to do a group assignment because it is dependent and creativity limited sometime. But during this project, it is bringing me a new idea or experience in doing a group work. This is because, there is a requirement is beside the group work, but the individual work is counted in the evaluation as well. So, this makes me feel that there are much more responsibility on me if compare with the group works that did last time. Now, it does not only have to contribute the idea, effort, creativity to the group, but there is also have to keep and contribute to myself. This makes me more interested and excited during this project. During this assignment, me and another group member, Wong Ping shared a lot of idea, contribution, even responsibilities. Although it’s stated that the individual evaluation, but no matter who are facing problem, or what problems that we are facing during this project, we decided to solve it together as a team. This is because; we believe that there is no group working so calling if there is a competition among the group members. So, me and Wong Ping are decided to work as a team instead of clearly divided the task for working on.




(2) State what your unique responsibilities are in the course of the project.

Loo Wen Yao: As what stated in the first question, we decided to not clearly divided task to each others because that’s only will end up with a bad quality design application because the design are not the same. We decided to create a unity design of application so it would look better and nicer. But since there is a requirement of individual evaluation, so we divided the task based on the content research for the application. For me, during this assignment, I was handled the topic of Chinese Food history in Malaysia, and Penang Chinese food. For me, content research and ideation could as my unique responsibilities in the course of the project. Since another group member, Wong Ping is unique in designing, so I focus more on the ideation and content of the application. During this assignment, I did manage all the information or content in this application based on the content research from me and Wong Ping. On the other hand, I did handle the application designing and content ideation as well.


(3) What do you think could have been done better, if you were to do it again?

Loo Wen Yao: If I could do it again, I think I would try to get more content of information and interactivity interface. This is because, I realize that the content of the application then my group did is less information and less interactivity. As a conclusion of the topic discussion, me and Wong Ping agreed that the problem is because of the general title. My group is creating the application based on the topic or title of “Chinese food in Penang and Ipoh, Malaysia”. Due to the too general topic and not specific enough, so we are facing the less content problem. So, if there is a chance to do it again, I think I would more focus on the topic choosing the the content of information, interactivity as well.


(4) Do you like cooperating with your group mates? Why?

Loo Wen Yao: Yes, I like to cooperate with my group mate who is Wong Ping. May be we are the same kind of person or shared a same characteristic. We shared the idea, we shared the design, and we shared the information that we get as well. Beside that, we could discuss the idea during a peaceful environment. That’s what I think is most important while doing a group work. This is because; competition and conflict among the group members only will lead to failure.
