This is more about what we really like and enjoy

Could be the same as the challenging bit... sometimes the painful thing happens to be an exciting aspect we want to work on

Think in terms of our strengths, our area for growth

# data[].attributes.body
In the beginning our group has yet to decide on a topic and as we were still unsure about our aim, all the way until we had to start the proposal then we roughly knew our aim.

# data[].attributes.body
I think what could have been exciting but we did not do was that we could have constantly came up with ideas or changes to the proposal then asked for feedback or comments in order to keep the proposal writing process fast paced and exciting

# data[].attributes.body
I think something I can try to improve on is my way of expressing ideas and explaining concepts. But I can also work on setting a clear direction that my group can aim to work towards if there is no one else doing so.

# data[].attributes.body
Most proposals were around 500 words but our first draft ended up being around 2000+ words and we had to cut down on our word count by a few hundred words and that process was quite hard as we were unsure about what information to retain and what to eliminate while still sending our message across to the audience.

# data[].attributes.body
We formatted our proposal according to a business proposal as we wanted it to feel as legitimate as possible so we did not stick to the basic format of a normal proposal and came up with something different, something that hopefully stands out from the rest.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that u can improve on my thinking scope as many of my ideas were very limited and narrow, so I feel that I can improve on this by pushing myself to think bigger, broader and out of the box. This way, I can generate more ideas and different concepts.

# data[].attributes.body
There was a lot of confusion that I had about approach and method and how to put it nicely in my proposal. My entire approach and methods were all very messy until we learnt how to categorize our points.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that I approached the proposal with a very fixed mindset on how a proposal should look like and what should be included in it. However, I learned from my group mates that there are many different ways we can approach something and that we should always look at the problem from different and new perspectives and always be open to new approaches.

Before I wrote the proposal, I have never thought of ever trying to do educational or vlogging style for any of the videos, or even do legit live performances. But the proposal enabled me to explore different ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
It was really interesting to see all the different information we have gathered put together and organised, as well as generating new and innovative ideas. Seeing the end product also us gives a sense of satisfaction after we tried to connect the different components together.

# data[].attributes.body
When my group started doing our proposal, it was at approximately 900 words. We had to look into areas where there were excessive information to remove them. However, most of our points were still underdeveloped and still had to keep to word count

# data[].attributes.body
It was hard to conclude with an approach so early into the planning process hence we are unable to come up with an approach which may cover all aspects of our area of concern

# data[].attributes.body
Something that i feel excited about is the execution of our group's idea since it would be a tough thing to do due to having to contact external organisations

# data[].attributes.body
We Have many different ideas and thinkings every discussion but we always do not go in depth and think about the connection between the ideas. Our proposal is like a rough list of ideas and methods and no one went to organise and group it. Only after some drilling and digging deeper, we then are able to think deeper today.

# data[].attributes.body
I never thought that planning played such an important role in any project we did. Like to me it was just brief and something quite irrelevant. What mattered to me more was the project itself. However after CID4 i realised that planning took such a long time because we had to set up out goals and our direction properly before we can even start working. For our proposal, it was the same. Planning was very crucial. If we did not plan properly, then we would have had no clear path to work towards to.

It was difficult to phrase our ideas coherently and simply, but at the same time ensuring that we have our points conveyed. Keeping our report short was difficult as we had too many words.

Coming up with a fresh and new approach to our proposal is a little challenging but I think it made us open our eyes to more ways to compose our proposal.

When we were finally able to come up w the connections and the approaches and link them together. It felt like an achievement  !

# data[].attributes.body
It was quite interesting working with a new bunch of people where the team dynamics is unfamiliar

# data[].attributes.body
At first, we were unsure of a story that our group shared and as such, it was more difficult to come up with a target audience. The aim also had to be specially targeted and clear about who we wanted to help and what we could do, making it more complicated to see the link.

# data[].attributes.body
I think for our proposal the most exciting thing was research. We had to do research about our topic “forensic science” eg. The type of sciences we wanted to promote. It was pretty exciting because we wanted to learn more about forensic science in the first place so to openly be allowed to dedicate time for research was very fulfilling

# data[].attributes.body
it was hard to keep to the word count of 550 words as we are afraid that cutting down on the points in the proposal will result to insufficient content

# data[].attributes.body
An area for growth would be to be more decisive, to think about what would be a possible idea to execute and decide on it

# data[].attributes.body
It was challenging as I constantly needed to tweak my slides as it needed to flow, while being able to convey all the correct messages. A lot of things needed to be cut out and added in to make the slides work, and the project itself needed to be tweaked as well

# data[].attributes.body
we initially drafted our proposals and we were barely 3/4 done when our word count had already exceeded 600 words and we realised that there were still many crucial things to add on. our total word count amounted to about 1000 which was very much more than the desired but we were also quite clueless on which information to retain and which were unnecessary because everything we typed out seemed equally important in conveying our main point and we were quite afraid that leaving out any of them would cause a loophole in our proposal and hence leading to an unclear proposal which we will be penalised for.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that I could have been more flexible and open to facing difficulties during the planning of the proposal. I did not expect it to be so tedious and hard to express what was really going on in my mind and when things were not going on smoothly, I felt very frustrated and tired. I could have been more calm instead of panicking when I was unclear of what I wanted to do.

# data[].attributes.body
Listening to feedback by our mentors helped a lot as we got to look through the loopholes we have in our proposal and general project, making us more aware of what we should focus on and the shortcomings.

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone in the group is important in contributing their parts and a group work wouldn't be a group work if not everyone has input their ideas into it

# data[].attributes.body
It was hard to create coherence and link our ideas together as we were not very organised at first. However, after we categorised everything it was easier to link our ideas together.

# data[].attributes.body
There are times when we discuss together but we are unable to come up w something deep and we discuss what was on the surface. This wasted q a lot of time as it was not very effective.

# data[].attributes.body
have never worked on this idea before and very excited for the execution

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that to have a more productive session, the work should be split up easily and then checked again so that it will be faster and more effective.

I think it was something that was pretty challenging. For our approach, we did not get the gist of it at first. Even after we understood a little more, we were still kind of stuck and unable to think of anything much. In the end, we did come up two approaches but it really took a lot of reflecting

Throughout the proposal writing, I have learnt to use different models in order to help me with my thinking.

It was fun and exciting to create the slides itself. Arranging the points to flow, choosing the pictures to illustrate the point, all felt like a puzzle game
