The poster presentation we did was on reasons for alcohol consumption for students. We used secondary data in the form of journals and websites that we found. I was relatively pleased with the end result; and I was particularly pleased with the poster as I hadn't ever created anything like that before and when I saw the finished result I was quite proud.
Unfortunately there wasn't much time to get together in the run up for the presentation to go over the speech as my group member was abroad for the week before, therefore the actual presentation didn't feel anywhere near as rehearsed as it could of, which meant I did lack a bit of confidence when we were actually stood up in front of the class to present.
This project furthered my dislike of having to do group work; in previous group work projects I have always found that there has been issues within the dynamics of the group that have caused issues. Unfortunately the actual group work didn't really work all that well this time either, unfortunately there was a imbalance in the levels of work, which was hard because on the one hand you don't want to take on the whole work load, but then again if you want a good mark you feel you have to do this. So I wasn't particularly happy doing this particular group project.
Overall, I feel if this had been an individual piece of work I would have put even more effort into the actual presentation, but because I had already done the large majority of the research and making the poster and printing the poster, I almost lost the motivation to do anymore as I didn't think it was fair. I was pleased with the work I had completed, and as I said previously the poster I was particularly pleased with, and after seeing the other posters I felt I was on par with other peoples.
In terms of reflection of the whole module, I feel I have benefited in terms of helping my own knowledge of research and finding applicable research, which will further benefit my research when I start my dissertation.
