SHS-ILS Expo Post-mortem Questionnaire

I. General
1. What things did you think went well on your project/the Expo?
- It was a blood-sweat effort of our team to finish the tower on time. The things that go
well on our undertaking are: the point at which we effectively joined the parts to
fabricate the tower, when we can complete it in time, when our materials are
sufficient to complete the last bit of the tower. We are truly proud of is that we have
actually built a 21 ft. replica of Eiffel tower of Paris.

2. What was the single most frustrating part of your project/the Expo?
- When we have struggled in building the tower because of the resistance of a few
schoolmates.

3. How would you do things differently next time to avoid this frustration?
- I would like to manage my expectation to others to communicate more frequently and
to spend time to supportive people and effectively share each other’s thoughts.

4. Were there any other issues or changes that should be considered? Pease offer
suggestions for methods of improvement.
- When we struggled in building the tower because of the lack of misunderstanding
and cooperation of some classmates. I would like to more to my schoolmates to
adequately share each other's contemplations.
II. Management
1. Were the goals of the Expo/project clear to you?
- Yes it is stated clear to me because the things that I did in the Expo/project are also in
a real world situation that all of us will encounter.

2. How complete did you think the planning was before the actual commencement of
the Expo/project? What could have been improved?
- I think before the actual commencement the planning is 95% complete, that’s
why during the process of building the tower, we made a few adjustments in
the length of the materials.

3. What was Expo/project schedule realistic?

- Yes, because we followed the schedule of the time and date greatly upon both
adequate planning and efficient execution to make it realistic.

4. Was the schedule detailed enough?

- Yes, because it shows the time and date of our working hours for the project. I have
noticed the program for film-showing should have started at 2 p.m. but it was not
followed.

5. What were the biggest obstacles to meeting the scheduled

dates/milestones/time/table?
- The biggest obstacle was the overlapping working hours spent; we almost not
finished it in time due to the lack of materials and cooperation of other
members.

III. Resources
1. Were there enough resources assigned to the Expo/project, given the schedule
constrains? If no, where/what part could there have been more resources assigned?
- Yes there are enough resources for our project. We finished it in time before the
expo.

2. Was there sufficient time for working on the Expo/project in addition to your day-
to-day job/studies? How could this be improved?
- Yes, for me there is enough working time to finish our project I addition to our day to
day studies. It was just that the struggle in other aspect affected the time.

IV. Testing
1. Was the testing period sufficient in identifying potential Expo/project problems?
- For me, we lack enough time to identify some problems due to the limited an amount
of time given to us before the expo. We have encountered money problems and that
was not clearly studied and sought out.

2. Was the process for reporting problems clear, easy to follow, and efficient? If not,
what improvements would you recommend?
- The process was clear; we directly report any problems to our leader or adviser for
the project.
3. Were issues dealt with and resolved in a timely and satisfactory way? Were you
satisfied with the level of technical and moral support received?
- Yes, some issues are resolved and given priority to help resolve the problem.

V. Communication
1. Was the Expo/project communication handled effectively in disseminating
information and guidelines? If not, how could it be improved?
- Some guidelines are handled effectively through the use of effective communication
between our classmates.

2. Were there enough group meetings, and were they useful?

- Yes, there were enough meetings to plan and complete our project. The other
sections have not collaborated that much in our idea of the tower.

3. Were there other forms of communication that you have been helpful?
- Communication in the form of using gadgets became helpful, especially when we are
needed to buy other materials for our project.

responsibilities well-defined and communicated?

responsibilities are well-defined and communicated.

2. Did you think the group worked well together?

- We are able to cooperate and communicate with one another, despite of the struggles
of finishing it in time.

3. Were there other groups/individuals that should have been a part of the
Expo/project team? If so, please specify.

the other students from other sections.

4. What would you do to make the Expo/project team more effective? What
Expo/project team organization changes would you commend?

must. All members in a team must be responsible for the success of an activity.
