Overall Group Reflection


We felt that teamwork was crucial for this project, including this group reflection. If we did not have teamwork in our group, this project would be done terribly. We communicated well with one another to go to which place first or how to go there. We asked for directions from others. Although it was a tiring trip, we persevered and finished the project. We managed to find humour through our tired trip. Questions were posed by one another. We found new things that we never discovered about Singapore. Asian Civilisation Museum was one place that none of us went there before. We were surprised that Singapore River had changed so much from the past and other colonial buildings too.
