Self Reflection

A

s a group, we felt that this project introduced us to a new dimension of learning that we never encountered before as students. Initially we speculated that the whole process of fabricating an interview and creating a blog would be tedious and dull. However, the project as a whole turned out to be quite thrilling. We started out with making a group that was unexpectedly exciting. Meeting new people in search for suitable teammates truly opened our eyes to the cultural and social diversity of our LAC 1201 class.

Again, we expected that the process of devising a script and video production would be very tiresome and uneventful. We had a lot of fun in cooking up all the creative and extraordinary ideas at every single night. We spent so much time in each of our meetings in arguing about whose crazy scenarios would be implemented for the project. It took a full week to finish the script, dissent and new ideas being the greatest culprits in slowing the process down. Nevertheless, everyone finally settled for an arbitrary script, and we immediately began the video production. Amusingly enough, the footing of our video took only a couple of hours, and a few days of editing, compared to the grueling 7 days of script-making.

Finally, yes, this project has improved our Chinese. We really appreciate taking this module and doing its project. It brings us to a new level of social ability, here, in Singapore.
