Thoughout this semester, as a group, we studied the
EU crisis and we focus on the Greek economy. We started our posts by talking
how the economic crisis started and how it evolved in Greece. We researched
various current topics that occurred over the last months in Greece and we
analyzed how these affected the Greek people. Moreover we researched if there has been any
improvement in the economic situation of Greece and we wrote about areas of
development.
Our plan of collaboration in the
weekly posts was, for 2 or 3 people to meet every week and do the post together
and then post it on blackboard so we can all agree that the post adequate to be
posted on the blog. Of course most of the times our plans didn’t work out as members
of our group were irresponsible and did not meet the deadlines. Furthermore it was a very often phenomenon that
a member would not show up on the meetings with the result the other member
having to do all the work by his/her own.
I think that group projects are really hard to succeed in college level
as people do not yet understand that in our lives later if you do not present
adequate work or do not show up on meeting you are most likely to be fired. Our group unfortunately was not able to
collaborate ( at least 2 out of the 5 members) due to lack of interest and
maturity. An example of the lack of the
maturity was when one member offended another’s member’s work, or when another member
would not show up on meetings, not even once, in the whole semester.
At
the end I think the some members managed to collaborate effectively and present
various different topics of the economic crisis. I learn a lot from this group project as far as the economic
crisis but most importantly I learned how the present those issues in a blog
format with supporting resources. It was
a difficult and challenging semester but at the end I think we all learnt the precious lesson of how to collaborate and how
to dissolve issues and problems.
