ES2007s is a special module. Although there is no exam or any graded assignment, it requires a lot of effort to do it.
This is especially true for the group project. It requires all the skills that we have already learned during the course of this module. From information gathering , to research methodology, everything has be covered so far will be handy when we do the project. My group aim is to examine the cause of low birth rate in Singapore. By doing this project, it makes me realise the complexity of real life problems. A lot of factors contribute and inter-relate to the problem of just one issue which is low birth rate, and there are a lot of things to be examined, such as aging population, immigration, inflation and politics issues. However, we are only a four-member group with only a few weeks to do the study, and we only have 20 minutes to present our project findings. Therefore how to pick the relevant information is crucial. We can afford to present neither too much nor too little.
Therefore the second factor came into play which is teamwork. We had met countless times to discuss the project. There were always differences between our opinions on these selection of information and the organisation of the information. At first I thought this would slow us down and I did not like group work. However, after this I realised that it was important for us to share and argue our ideas, it would improve the quality of our project, brought up new ideas and made it looked like a combine effort.
In conclusion, the project is an memorable experience and I wish my future projects can be as successful as this one.
