Week 1
This week was the first week of the research paper assessment which we had been provided with.
I am looking forward to working with my team and carrying out the research procedure as this is
my first experience about working in a group for my assessments and that too carrying out the
research paper and associated analysis. In line with this, it can be adequately mentioned that, we
have been formally introduced to one another and hence, we have decided to meet in the second
week of the timeline so as to divide the responsibilities and decide upon the associated topics
which may be deemed suitable for the purpose of the study.
Week 2
In this week, our team got together in order to decide upon the associated research topic and
related study procedure. It is in this week where we got together and after a considerate research
procedure we decided that, we should be working on a topic associated with the Covid 19. The
Covid 19 is a global pandemic which has affected the global operations of all businesses.
Although all team members did not attend the meeting we decided upon the topic whereby
COMMON WEALTH BANK VS WESTPAC had been selected for the examination. It is in this
week, that our team decided to meet regularly.
Week 3
In the third week, we decided to proceed with the division of the associated tasks as involved in
the research work. We were able to identify that many of us did not have any adequate
experience about the research procedure and the manner in which the research work had to be
undertaken. Although this had an adequate effect on our morals, we decided to ensure that we
were able to manage the associated operations adequately and take the guidance of our tutor.
Week 4
Several problems propped up in this week of our research. It can be adequately understood that,
we started problems being associated with the division of work. In our meeting work last week,
we had divided the task of carryout the initial research into several associated parts but in this
week when we got together to discuss and check the progress of our work, we found that several

participants were not serious about the work. In addition to this, it can be understood that, several
participants were absolutely clueless about the manner in which the work had to be carried out.
Week 5
Hence, in this week, we gained the assistance of our tutor to resolve the issue. She undertook a
productive session with each one of us and made us understand the importance of the research
procedure. In line with this, it can be considered critical to note that, the team members got
together, became more serious and in assistance with this, were able to work together as a team.
In line with this, we were able to gather all associated information which thereby assisted us to
complete the work on time.
Week 6
In this week, all the participants will be effectively required to see to it that they submitted the
work. I was responsible for the first section of the paper. Other participants who were effectively
engaged in the other parts were able to understand the means using which the research would be
required to be carried out and were also able to identify the manner in which the research
objectives had to be attained. It is in this week that we were able to complete the work on time
and ensure that all the operations were carried out in an effective manner.
Week 7
This was the 7th week of the research whereby we received the feedback of the research proposal
and we started working on the proposal accordingly. In association with this we were adequately
able to work on the research report. The work was divided amongst the different team mates and
it was adequately decided that each of the team members would be given an opportunity to work
on their previous topic and come together for conclusion. Hence, I got the Introduction part and
half of conclusion as well. I was able to gain assistance of the team members and worked
diligently.
Week 8
In this week, I faced a dilemma whereby, I was not being able to focus on my work. The reason
for this was that I was unable to identify the manner in which I would be required to balance my
work life with the associated personal life. It is at this point of time, that I was facing certain
issues pertaining to which, I was not being able to focus on any aspect associated with the work
