Reflection Paper

Mahdi Akil :
Each group must make hard work to make a perfect presentation but it depends on the location
especially if we are not sitting beside each other. We worked hard in the university and that
was so hard to find time to share all together. By the way, the topic was about childhood and
adulthood and we compared how our lives changed and how the person must be responsible to
his future and to look careful, it reveals many things to watch out in how we look to our lives.
No one can make perfect presentation his/her own experience, we should share experiences to
form clear ideas. Also to be perfect, I find myself that I should work with my team because in
some cases they need me and also sharing ideas encourage me to present in a good way and to
overcome on the problems that I had. Every one fear from the person that is unable to do his
work and that makes conflict in the group. Also picking information takes a lot of time to find an
appropriate idea, but by the group you can overcome on anything. Well, group is most
important thing in the presentation, of course we met but most of the time we communicated
on social media and that was a problem because we waste a lot of time. Furthermore, building
our brains depends on sharing ideas and it gives the ability to love presenting in front of people.
Presenting also builds self-confidence and you will not be fear from anything.

Mohammad Darwich:
The project was a nice experience, cooperating and working as a team was excellent. I was
afraid from failing in team work because I didn’t know my team members enough. The most
challenging thing in this project was picking the topic. Every member has his own ideas, there
were many topics but choosing the topic of the adulthood and childhood was very hard. I didn’t
expect myself to work in team like that; I was sharing ideas and cooperating like we were on
mind. The funniest thing was when we were suggesting random topics without thinking of it. It
was a nice experience and I hope repeating it with the same team.

Rasha Ghaddar:
Actually, there were many challenges in this project, and the most one was to choose the topic
that we want to talk about. Then we choose to compare and contrast between adulthood and
childhood. The other thing that was challenging is finding the similarities they were actually
hard but we cooperated to figure them out. Also the video is challenging to direct it in an
interesting way related to the topic. There is always in the project thing you would learn about
the topic you are searching on. It was somehow funny to find different reactions between old
and young people. You will actually enjoy studying about kids mostly since they are cute
persons. The team work experience was somehow bad since we didn’t work as a team but as
individuals. I almost hate team work because of this thing. I learned from this experience that I
could do all the work on my own or with the help of Mahdi Bahsoun and that I am much
creative than before. It was probably hard to finish all this work in one week because before we
had exams so we were busy studying. I was missing a lot of help from the other two members.
This team work failed a lot, in other teams they were helpful compared to us.

Mahdi Bahsoun:
Doing a project especially as a team work is a good experience. The first time we met as a team
to brainstorm was in the commercial area on the grass. It was challenging choosing our topic. It
took us long time to choose our topic which is compare/contrast between adulthood and
childhood. Finding information and ideas was challenging too. It was an important experience
working as a team because we distribute the work on each other. The main thing I learned
about myself is that I am a hard worker and somehow creative. I learned from this experience
to be democratic and listen to well each other. We didn’t have enough time to do our project
well because we had midterm exams and we were studying. If we had enough time we would
have enjoyed this presentation more because it is an interesting topic.
