Project Bitch

"Attitude determines altitude."- Zig Ziglar

Yes, I can be quite a bitch when it comes to projects. I will not tolerate anything less than near perfection when it comes to projects especially when it comes to report.

Reports are really important part of the project because I believe no matter how great or good your project can be but if you fail to write a good report to convience people about the project, the project is as good as a failure. And so when my groupmates work fail me, I will personally get it to be redone or I will personally change the quality of work. Yes, I will whine, bitch, be sarcastic and they may hate me. But for all I care, I'm doing it for the benefit of the group.

And so when my group leader for this particular project fail to lead because he is such a kind soul and wishes not to push anyone, I took the lead of the project and demanded datelines for each individual sections and self-volunteered to be the group's editor. I remembered scrambling through everyone's work for two nights with the help of my cousin to collate and edit the report. I remembered how I just broke into anger and started being a bitch to this particular one from my group because even as the dateline was less than a day away, he had yet to hand in his section.

But I guess being a bitch paid off because when I went to collect the report. I was greeted with a sweet grade and comments on the report cover.

Dear All,
1. The greatest strength of the report are :
a) Strong language skills (clear, coherent and accurate)
b) Systematic and well-organized
2. Your report is also consistent from beginning to end(follows the objective + scope)
3. Your reference list is correct
4. However two areas that needs improvement are:
a) Your report has included information that should only appear in a proposal
b) You neglected to report the results of the interview - or at least a summary of it.

Overall, you guys have written a report that is a PLEASURE to read.

Haryana for your presentation, you gave a good acknowledgement of staff who helped you. You gave a good summary at the end. Nice body posture, very calm and poised. Lastly, you have a very nice voice tone and volume.

With that, I got an A- for my individual abstract and the group report. A for my individual presentation. It's been a while since I saw the grade A appearing on my papers. I just hope overall for this subject, it's an A.
