Making the Draft Report:
This week we were to submit the
first draft of our final Project Report to our partners by Wednesday, 26th
Nov, 2014. I must say, this was a difficult task to accomplish. I was sure that
I will never make the deadline. I started working on the first draft on Monday,
24th Nov, 2014. Soon, I realized that through the weeks we had
actually done the ground work for the Project Report by providing the answers
to several questions as part of the Project Step thread on Nicenet. Wow! This
is great!
Soon I had in place the first few
sections of the Report Template provided to us by Courtney. Then there was no
looking back. This initial boost kept me going till the end. I completed my first
draft by Wednesday and uploaded it on the class wiki page created for my group.
Collaborating with my Wonderful Partners:
We had been asked to find
partners for Peer Review of our Draft Projects. Gordana and Zulyar graciously
agreed to be my partners. I loved the whole process of signing up on a wiki
page for the partnership. It, at once, increased the level of commitment and
responsibility towards our partners. Taking a learning from this activity, I am
surely going to employ this method with my students whenever I create groups for
some collaborative work.Advantages of Peer Review:
I had the great privilege of reviewing
Gordana’s and Zulyar’s draft
projects. By Sunday 30th Nov, 2014 we
were supposed to upload our feedback and comments based on the checklist
provided to us. I realized while reviewing their work that each one of us has a
different take on the same topic. This helped me to see things in a new
perspective. I am sure this knowledge will help me when I am making the final
Project report. What I had missed out on and where I can make improvements came
to light. How wonderful! These realizations were only possible as I had the
opportunity to review others work.
Here, I must say that the draft
reports prepared by my partners were brilliant! Both of them have done justice
to the whole idea. They have also provided me with their valuable feedback and
suggestions in their checklists for me, which is definitely going to help me in
making my Final Report better.
