CCO105 Social Research - Group-Based Assignment

For this group assignment, we were given a topic in class. The topic we were given was "National Identity". From our topic, we were required to come up with a sub topic, and from there we had to think of a research question. We were required to come up with a report starting how we are going to carry out our research, in it we had to write down things such as who are our respondents, what are our variables, what method are we going to use for our research, etc.

When doing the assignment, we were faced with a lot of confusion. This was due to it being a group assignment, and different people in the group had different thinkings and opinions. Therefore, we spent a lot of time listing down the necessary information. In the end, we managed to come to an agreement of the content of the report. From there on, we split the workload and each person in the group was assigned to complete one section of the report. Afterwards, we sat together and edited the report so as to ensure a smooth flow of content.

After completing the assignment, I learnt about having to work with different people. Especially when my group mates came from different studying backgrounds - with some coming from Polytechnics and some from Junior College. Initially, I had difficulty trying to work with the different style of writing, however, we managed to accommodate with each other's working style and completed the report in the end.
