The document summarizes a student's reflections on a group project completed for their Precalculus class. It outlines the agenda, introduction, pros and cons of the project experience, suggestions for improvement, and conclusion. The project aimed to strengthen language skills and promote collaboration but fell short of its goals due to issues with communication, scheduling, and lack of focus on the intended purpose within the context of the Precalculus course. The student suggests the project may have been more effective with more time dedicated to specific math concepts or if structured as its own separate class.

● Suggestions

6. PRO'S

7. PRACTICE
● Practice Makes Perfect
● Successful application of concept
● Visible difference in scores

8. TEAMWORK
● Value of working together
● Hard to get together
● Complications

9. CON'S

10. PROJECT EXPERIENCE

11. LACK OF COMMUNICATION
● Weak dominance of either language
● Avoidance out of commodity
○ Finish work amongst those who know language
○ False pretext: doubles work
○ Goes against purpose
○ Detriment to all

12. LACK OF COMMUNICATION
● Personality types
○ Acute timidity
■ Anxiety and pressure in leadership position
○ Disconnection from responsibility
■ Waiting for the next person to complete
● Participation left to a minimum

13. APATHY
● Simplicity of problem
● Overall mundane nature of project
● More important responsibilities to attend to

14. SCHEDULING ISSUES
● Members had more important
responsibilities
● Scarcity of available free time
● Dependence on others for their part
● Excuse
● Equally as responsible for grade as others

15. PROJECT'S PURPOSE

16. INTENDED ACHIEVEMENTS
● "strengthen linguistic skills to improve academic
performance"
● "increase self confidence for public speaking"
● "promote technology for research and presentations"
● "develop writing and research skills for professional
success"
● "promote collaborative teaching and learning"

17. ACTUAL ACHIEVEMENTS
● Technological integration for project completion
● Use of internet websites:
○ YouTube
○ SlideShare
○ Google Docs
○ Google Drive
● No other achievements accomplished

18. SUGGESTIONS

19. THE PLAN
● How it was planned defeated it's purpose
● Hindered our real class objective
● Overall useless in this method

20. MORE TIME AND FOCUS
● More time to really saturate in material
● More focus on specific aspect with math
● Perhaps stand alone as a class
● Perhaps a lab class

21. CONCLUSION

22. SUMMARY
● Not an enjoyable process
● Implementation with MAT133 curriculum
made it unnecessary
● Should be a class of it's own
