Two person were in charge of one topic so we did our own research on the sub-topics that were assigned to us.
Karen and I were in charge of the task at different stages of a town planner in the construction industry. It was quite challenging as there were no fixed stages for a town planner. There are different types of answers from different kind of websites and we were confused on which are the correct ones. At last, we were able to combine all the similarities of each website and made a conclusion out of it.
We had several meetings to combine and analyze all our informations. Me, Madeline and Jian Xiang was in charge of making the slides. After getting the slide done, we practiced for our presentation a few times in every meeting we had.
What was new to this project was the usage of the interactive whiteboard which are usually being introduced during degree level. It was a good opportunity for us to get use to presenting using the touch board. By having the interactive whiteboard, it made the presentation more interactive as we are able to draw on the board. Important points are able to be brought out by underlining or circling the points using the board pen.
Our group even booked a discussion room equiped with the touch board to practice our presentation so as to achieve the best presentation.

Reflection:
Through this project, I have learnt how to be independent in looking for answers to my questions. I learnt how to do my own research on the task at different stages of a town planner through the internet. Learning to summarize the points from different websites allowed me to imporve my analyzing skills too.
In addition, I gain knowledge of the task at different stages of a town planner which will help me in the future.
In conclusion, I had a clearer picture of what does a town planner works with as they plan the whole town.
