Reflection
In this project, I am the partner of Kaya and we were doing a study on Vietnam and the Vietnam War, which we are making a giant timeline for this country and a model of the Notre Dame church as the product. First of all, I would like to talk about the failure in this project. The biggest failure was I have an awful corporation with my partner, I can’t separate the work very well and just try to finish all the things by myself. Because I can’t endure the slowness of my partner, so in the end I just give up to let her work and finish the timeline and model by my own. This is bad because I can’t trust others’ ability and have a good teamwork with others,and it will cause lots of problems in the future, which is something I need to avoid next time. But this time I just too worry about can’t submit the project before the deadline, so except the research part, I almost did everything and made the final project alone, which sounds bad but at least the process is good. And now I don’t need to worry about the deadline anymore.
Second, I would like to talk about the success in this project. I do learn lots of new stuffs in research state, and get more familiar as I wrote the information on the timeline, which feel good to gain new knowledge and it is excited for me to know another country’s history. Another success is the time management for this project, although I did not follow the action plan at all, but the management still pretty good. I tried to finish the main structure of model during the two weeks holiday that we got, and done the research and timeline after we back to school, then now we got whole week to write the reflection and enough time to edit the e-portfolio. The success on time managing makes me quite satisfy, and I hope in future I can keep this kind of work efficiency for every project.
For the strength and the weakness part, I think my biggest strength is that I can use different languages to do the research and gain more information, which is quite useful in the research state, and it was very helpful. Because of this strength, I had more understanding about what I was learning. For the weakness as a learner, I feel a little bit lazy when the project seem to be done, this is my bad habit and what I would like to change, and I should not start to relax before I submit the assignment. But from this project I realized I have a problem about criticized others and can give a trust on their ability, I think this is the biggest reward besides those new knowledge that I got, and it also give me a direction on what should I try hard on next group work project.

Mind Map#3
This is the last mind map we have drew near the deadline of the project, and you can see the information is more complete compare to the last one. Because during this period, we need to prepare for the random presentation in the class so I spend some times to remember the detail of the events. However I still learn lots of new knowledge from the research state, which I really enjoy this kind of strategy to learn.
