Well, sadly I don’t have really anything useful, in my opinion, to say about my contributions but what I can say is that my greatest contribution to the group was finishing the questions for the report and produced the pie chart for the advertising budget and the itemized budget. I currently don’t really have a say on it but what I can say about group work is that there are advantages and disadvantages. I don’t know if it’s better to be alone or in a group. My opinion on group work is currently the same as it was before, I have no actual opinion.

The biggest contribution is editing the podcast. My opinion on the group work is that we did good dividing the work evenly. My opinion about group work has gotten better.

The greatest contribution I made to the group was making the tickets and the poster because those were some important things a band group would need. My opinion about finishing the Mega-Project was that this was the first group project I’ve had fun with and where everyone does something. My opinion about the group has not changed because it was a good project.

I did not really make any big contributions but I edited the video commercial which was alright. I kinda was the follower of the group but I did not slow the group down at all. During the weekend we were supposed to meet, but some of our group members could not go, so we had to work on our responsiblities on our own. My opinion on group work now is sort of giving me second thoughts because I figure out now that if you do even the slightest mistake, your group hunts you down until you get your punishment.

The greatest contribution that I have ever done to the group is typing the written report and finishing the final report binder. For example, I typed almost everything and retyped it because of the changes you told us to make. Before, I thought that group work helps people socialize with each other and allows people to learn how to work with people different than you. That opinion hasn’t changed. I still think that group work is very important, especially in the future.

I think was one of the best projects I have done it wasn’t the easiest but the fact that we thought of all our stuff we did good. I made one of the biggest contributions that they came to my house and I helped with the podcasts and the materials. I think that this is one of the most ensured good grade for all the members of the group.:)
Joshua H. said
I wasn’t the best contributer in the group, but even though people fool around work gets done. I guess I did some of everything then just let people take over it. The project was sort of a huge frustration for me but at the same time fun. Since Sean kept perfecting, everyone got all frustrated when we met up during the weekend. I think that groups show they’re true colors at the end of the project.

I think my greatest contribution is the idea of making the shirts. We made different kinds of shirts so we show different shirts you could buy in the tour. We were going to put the iron on fabric on the shirts but we didn’t get to so we put paint. My opinion about group work in this mega project is we put our ideas together to make our project as our groups best idea. We helped each other make our shirts. My opinion didn’t change if it got worst or better. I had fun doing this project.It is one of the best, actually the best one I did.
Nicole Santos said
I’ve done many mock-ups of the billboards, magazine article and ads, and the tickets. I still think working with a group is better because you can get so many things finished and there are so many creative ideas are made up! To me, this has been the best project I’ve ever done.
Ray said
The greatest contribution I made was maing the keynote. For example, I had to think of what to put on it, upload the pictures, and make all the changes. I think that group work helps people socialize and I also think that it is easier because you don’t have to do all the work. I think it is important.
Sean S. said
I would say my biggest contribution is the radio commercial. I say this because it is a very important and actual audio. My opinion of groupwork is both negative and positive. Negative because with the wrong group members the project moves very slow. Positive because the project is stronger since every member contributes and is strong in certain characteristics. My opinion stays the same about this project.
Hector H. said
Looking back on this project, my greatest contribution is perfecting the keynote. For example, Joshua made 8 slides for the Keynote and typed about a couple of words till I noticed it wasn’t as good as it is suppost to be so I decided to get the keynote from 7a storage and started to work. I noticed it was my job to work the Keynote. After just 3 to 4 days the Keynote was a perfected keynote with all that is needed. Working on the keynote was my greatest contribution.

The greatest contribution that I made for this group is my dedication and creativity. I always stick to what I say by doing my job and making it the best it can be. My creativity can be seen through my ideas of the logos, for “Red CCab” and the “Quick Minds Agency”. It wasn’t practically my own idea, it was the group’s. I asked that if my ideas were appropriate, if they were good enough, and, mostly, if they liked it. The logos helped my other group members get ideas of how and what it should look like. They will know what colors, designs, and fonts to use. I was like the base that everyone branched off from. With my drawings and sketches, the others were able to think of how to make the billboards and other ad samples. My opinion on group work has changed after this final media project. It has gotten better, before I thought that that was it. This group project was one of the best experiences ever. I was part of a group that did what they were supposed to do. It was great to see that everyone made at least one unique and special contribution to this project. The best thing was that we finished and did it together. No one was lazy and did nothing and no one was there who did everything. I look forward to having more group projects like this: a good one.

Well me personally, . would say that i did contribute the directions to start a guidline for the group and I also helped make a lot of the electronic parts of the project and near the end I helped others in different parts of the group.
Donnie Campbell said
The contributions that I have made to my group is the DvD cover for our movie. Another contribution i made for my group is being the crazy maniac in the movie called Trippi’n. The movie Trippi’n is about a crazy maniac who is me Donnie Campbell, and a judge who sent the crazy maniac to a asylum in Mexico. And then a doctor and two police men have to take me to the asylum is Mexico. Everyone in my whole entire group has made a contribution, and i am having a great time on this project.

Well, I contributed a few hard tasks, for example, like the handwriting and a few mock ups, and scripts. It was pretty hard for me to keep up with the group, because I had to do a few things extra than everyone. This final project has pushed me up a bit, gave me a taste of the future years. Working in groups may be hard, at times. But, once you think about it, it’s just apart of life. Working in groups, will always be apart of life, like in jobs. I had a great time working with the members in the group, it was hard because they were my friends, but in the end, everything was perfectly fine. Group work to me, has never change, it has always been the same. Group work is just apart of life, if you don’t like it, you’ll just have to deal with it.

I can say that one of my contributions was to make the billboards, using creativity and time to decorate and come up with a good attention-grabber billboard, by using the fifteen appeals. Since our service is a restaurant, it would be physiological needs, but instead of putting the picture of food, I decided to put two jalapeños dancing (personalization) so it would grab people’s attention. Another of my contributions was doing the scrip and editing the radio commercial, that came up good at the end. I learned many things about group work, like the arguments and discussions we have to go throughout the selection of logos, for example, and our slogan. But overall, I learned that if a team really proposes to do something, they’ll do it. I saw that since our progress increase in our project such in the logo, sample, and everything, my group have done in this period of time

One of my contributions to the group was making the website. For the website I made I wanted to do something that look very subtle, but something that will also grabs someone’s attention.
Now my opinion for group work is very different. Now I thin it’s a little bit better being in a individual project because you would know that you have to be dependent on yourself and if someone where doing something in your group and you didn’t like it you would have to say something. But I still like group work because when the assignment is handed out with you your glad because you get to work together with your friends, but that may not always be a good thing because you may never get any work done!

My role was to design scenery for the cartoon, some character designs, make the art book and revise some of the writings, over all, I was an artist. One work that I particularly liked was designing the mountains of steel holding up the Pandemonium shadow castle. I liked giving ideas for the characters, areas, and storyline.
My overall thought about group work is that it’s good, but I prefer working by my self. I prefer working by my self is because this way you can make sure that every thing is done and no one is slacking off, because you’re the only one, but the thing that’s hard about it is that all the work is piled on the shoulders of the one person, but that’s all good.
Lara B. said
I had a lot of important roles in the project. They were, to design a page of the website, do some billboards, posters, and to finalize the budget. One of the jobs that I liked was when I was doing the budget because I felt as if I was an accountant. :]
My thought about group work is that sometimes it is better off working with groups because you get to brainstorm ideas with each other, in contrast, the negative side of it is when others are not reliable and they do not contribute work and the work piles up on you. My opinion on group work has stayed the same because there’s some ups and downs about group work.

My contribution was making the keynote, the budgets, and the pie chart. It was a great experience but next time I am going to do group projects by myself or with people I barely hang out with. It has effected my opinion of group work.

I would say my greatest contribution I made in this group project was making the keynote, and making most of the mock-ups for the flyers and magazine. For example, I made all the slides for the keynote and drew out most of the samples for the magazines and flyers. My opinion on group work has not really changed, it seems to have its positive and negative opinions. The positive part of group work is that it makes this project a little easier because people do a part to finish the project, and you get new ideas and get to share your creativity. And then the negative part about group work is that there will always be a person who say they did something but really didn’t do anything they said. For example, we have a person in our group who said they would do an important part for our service, but they didn’t do it, and blamed another person so it seemed the other person was responsible for that part. And that person really frustrates me because everyone else did their part except that person in this group work.

Well for this final project I say that, it was fun and my role in this project was to decorate, come up with a good billboard that are simple enough to get your attention even if it was plain but with a good detailed picture with a slogan and with the logo.My group and I had to under go some arguments and discussions but it all worked out, slow but at least we had our project finished.
Angelica M. said
I can say that my biggest contribution was making the logo and the budget. I made different kinds of hand prints for our group to choose and to decide which one is best. The budget was one of the hardest tasks of this project. Lara and I had to do it over and over for a few times until we finally got it.
Group work is one of the hardest things to deal with in life. This project was fun and we were able to get a lot of work done. We rushed to finish our work and in the end, it ended up great. My opinion about group work has changed because before, group work was easy. Now, when I started doing group work with different people, it became harder. I think that this project was one of the hardest because there was a lot of conflict from our group members to deal with. This project was a great experience.
Krizia D. said
My biggest contribution to the group was, making the logo and the CD album cover. It was hard deciding which one to pick as our logo. Overall, my opinion and about group work was that you would have to socialize more with your friends. It’s one of the things that you would have to deal in life at school. You should get together with someone who you would trust for the project rather than picking your friends that you know who wouldn’t do work. This project was a really fun and cool experience. I hope we get to do more things like this next year.
Raymart T. said
My greatest contribution was making the report and editing the podcast because no one had the time to do these things because they were busy with their work. And besides, these things were my responsibility. Group work really depends if your group mates are lazy or not. I think that teachers should give less group work rather than individual work because sometimes your group mates rely on you to do all the things. But during this final media project, each one in our group did their part and did not rely on one person to do things. I say that my opinion about group work stayed the same.
