This was a good but yet difficult project.Personally, I thought we learned more about life skills then we did about physics. And I have no problem with that. Some of the things I learned to do was work with a deadline, and cooperate with team mates. It is very difficult to work with a dead line when not all of your group members do their work. I experienced this a lot this project. But we just had to learn to get along and finish what we needed. I thought that the laptop bag would be easy to make, but it ended up being very difficult. We got stuck in a lot of situations where things just kept going wrong over and over. It comes to a point where you don't know what to do any more. But we pulled through and finished this project strong. I felt that towards the end of this project was when our group worked the hardest realizing the quarter was almost over. Some of the things I thought went very well was the presentation. I thought we did pretty good. I also thought our final bag didn't turn out that bad. Some of the things that didn't go as planned were just about everything. Our original plan for our laptop bag included a zipper and more padding, but that didn't work out that well. Mainly because we found it very difficult to sew on a zipper. And also because teneille was unable to help us for over a week because she was at Merrie Monarch. The other thing my group struggled with was blog posting. We started off week, but then towards the middle of our project we did well. But at the end, we started slacking again. I definitely learned that Group projects are not for me. But i also learned that in life, we need to know how to work in groups. I am very happy we got this project because it taught me how to talk with my group member and collaborate through all of our problems. Something I think would make this project better would be to get rid of the physics aspect of it. I know that its a physics class, but for this type of project, it was very difficult to find and appropriate problem to solve relating to physics. I think that if you just did improving the school in general, there would be a lot more creative projects that really help out the school. The one other thing i didnt like was the blog posts. I think that a blog post every night is a little unneeded. I think that maybe every other night, or just days we have class would be more reasonable. During this project, I do think i did science... just not quite physics. We used science in a matter of experimenting and problem solving. I think that these lessons would come more in handy later in life then learning actual physics.
