I personaly felt that the progress of this project was rather at a slow pace. For instance, when we have to come out with a project proposal, we spent a couple of weeks to come out with a finalized project proposal and that was beyond the date line given. Everytime we were required to do the proposal, our team does not respond to it immediately and we dragged it along until before the day we have to pass up the proposal. This happened because all of us were busy revising for our tests and were busy with CCA and some school activities. We could have done better in this if we manage our time properly to avoid doing things in the last minute.
Besides that, the difficulty in accessing to the computer further slows down our progress of the project. As all of us are staying in the boarding, we are not allowed to bring a laptop and we can only use the computer at the com lab situated in the boarding. The com lab operates daily from 7.45pm to 9.30pm which is during the prep time. Everytime we wanted to do a research, send emails, do proposals etc, we can only use the computer around that time. This is rather inconvenient to us as we need to do revisions during prep time and we don't have time for the com lab.
Lastly, the lack of experience in doing projects is the MAIN factor that causes the progress of our project to run slow. In Malaysia, all of us were not exposed to doing projects like RE-SL projects. Hence, we do absolutely NO IDEA about what is the correct way of doing it. For instance the format of a formal invitation through emails, the correct way of doing researchs, the correct way of doing the proposals etc. Everytime we tried and gave our best in doing the project but somehow we did not get it right in the end. This always frustrates us A LOT!!!! But no matter what we will still put in the effort that we had always been putting in and thats the MALAYSIAN spirit =)
