Reflection on THE PROJECT

We've been working on a project during the last few weeks. The project for our group (Connie, Jenai and I) was to analyze some motions with frictions. At the beginning when we first received the "task slip", we didn't know what to do because we didn't know lots of the vocabulary on the slip. After we researched about the vocabularies and ask Mr. Loken questions, we finally know what to do and we presented what we found.

I like how this was organized because now, every group is doing their own things and they are different from others. After learning, we can present to other groups, which we learn much more stuff than if we all do the same thing. With help of the internet, I think the tasks were fine. Also, we learn how to find ways to solve the problems ourselves, we train independence and problem solving skills. But the bad thing is, it's harder to study and remember everything in this short amount of time.

I think during these few weeks, I've learned about a lot of stuff that I never seen before such as the string theory or even the Newton's second law. I think we can learn more stuff this way, that the whole class doing lots of different topic at the same time and present to other groups, which we all learn the same amount of thing during short period.

If I want a change, I would like our "time of researching" to be longer. I didn't feel like we have enough time to figure out everything deeply, especially for the groups that are studying hard concepts. Mr. Loken, you might want to think of giving us more time.
