TASK 1
Reflection on performance in group presentation and in the module
It has been identified that working with a group often very challenging as it required
effective coordination and communication. In addition to this, it has been identified that it is
important for an individual to learn to work with other as to accomplish objectives and goals of
their career in well defined and effective manner. During this module I have learned different
types of skills with the help of which I developed my mental thinking process like reasoning,
intelligence, thinking etc. It has been identified that during the module there were lot of projects
that are required to be undertaken by me in group and individual basis.
A project has been allotted to me for which group presentation is required. Thus, a team
was formed in which individuals of different skills and knowledge allotted with different types of
roles and responsibilities. As to deliver the presentation it is essential for all of us to have
effective communication with each other in order to share ideas, views and perceptions. One of

the primary thing of our group is to work together by respecting and understanding each other
ideas and views as to effectively accomplish determined goals and objectives. In order to
designate roles and responsibilities to each and every individual a meeting was conducted that
later turned out to be productive as each and every group member known about their role as well
as responsibilities. During the Initial stage of Activity, I have faced various problems due to my
communication skills as it is not effective as required. For me, it is not easy to coordinate with
other team members and accepting their ideas. As my confidence is low, I am not interact with
others properly and did not express or share my opinions as well as thoughts to other team
members.
In addition to this, the thing that went well was gathering of required and necessary information.
With the help of this, task that has been allotted to us went extremely well. Furthermore, this is
being identified by me that during the first weeks my confidence and communication skill had
gotten better and developed in best effective manner. This skill is required by me as to increase
my future career opportunities in best effective manner. While, the thing that does not went well
was that I was not able to manage my activities in proper framework for time. This affect my
working efficiency. Thus, it is required by me to effectively develop this skills as to ensure
accomplishment of activities and task in perfect time frame in future. Thus, it has been identified
by me that time management and critical thinking approach is required to be improve by me. For
this, it is essential for to continuously engage in activities that involve critical thinking and
accomplish them by scheduling them as per according to time. Further this has been identified
that with the help of working in group and individual with different skills and knowledge I
learned to have effective communication. This skill is one of the most important skill with the
help of which I can ensure by future growth. At group presentation every individual is allotted
with the task to collect necessary information and data. For this I had taken the use of different
social media sites as to present accurate data. During the presentation, my communication skills
is developed but I was not performing duties which is assigned to me within the time frame. I
was not able to schedule as well as manage the things in an appropriate way. In addition to this, I
have also undertaken use of information from different individuals by asking questions to them.
With the help of this, I effectively present new information to them. It has been duly identified
that the thing that went interesting was that there were no conflict raised among group members
as from the starting stage each and every individual respected each other point of view and
