(a) Do you enjoy participating in group work discussion? Why or why not? '
Answer - I enjoy participating in group work discussions because while it mostly can be beneficial. I find it beneficial as it saves up time for me so I do not have to use up more time to do an extremely difficult project. For example, for my Social Studies project, there was a lot to do which was getting difficult as I had to create a website which made me extremely stressed without my teammates' help.When they helped me, it has became extremely easy


Part 2
a) Do you prefer working on group projects or individual assignments? why?
Answer - I prefer working on group projects as it saves us a lot of time to do a project and it also saves us a lot of stress. We also get to know each other better, which helps to improve our social skills. It also increases our friendship. Group work also increases efficency as there are multiple of us working on an extremely hard and stressful project. We can also make the development of the project easier by giving each member separate tasks to contribute to the projects. Individual assignments would be too stressful as there is a lot of time and little rest to do this extremely hard project, which may end up in the project being poorly done

(b) There have been a lot of mixed comments about our education system today. What are your views?
Answer - I believe that whatever education is given is for our own good so that it could strengthen our brains and we can grow up to be better people. However, I will admit that the education system can be absolutely stressful and time-consuming at times, as I have experienced myself while doing my homework]]> 2022-03-23 01:57:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ms_cindylim1/uubcnjaa8j5jcn24/wish/2108740456 reyes_khoo_zheng_xun https://padlet.com/ms_cindylim1/uubcnjaa8j5jcn24/wish/2108760833 a) i enjoy participating in group work discussions. it is really interactive when all of us gets to work on projects 


b) i prefer working in groups as it is easier to share the workload when the job gets tough. When we do in a group, we can create new ideas and form better suggestions for the benefit of the projects, therefore getting the job done faster

c) i feel that whatever the education system does is for the benefit of ours one way or another. this is because the ministry wants the students to feel enriched and non-stressed at the same time. thus the education system's decision meets the needs of all the people, whether its students, parents or teachers.]]> 2022-03-23 02:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ms_cindylim1/uubcnjaa8j5jcn24/wish/2108760833 https://padlet.com/ms_cindylim1/uubcnjaa8j5jcn24/wish/2108765928 1. Do you enjoy participating in group work discussion? Why or why not? 

Yes, I enjoy participating in group work discussion. Firstly having group work discussion increases our bond among friends. We get to know each other more while working. I believe that it increases our social skills to and leadership skills. Students can step up and volunteer to be the leader of the group. We would also not be shy to present if the group work requires a group presentation. Group work discussion also increase efficient and make the job much more easier as there is more people to split the parts accordingly. 

2. There have been a lot of mixed comments about our education system today. What are your views?

Many students thinks that our education system is too stressful while some do not think so. For me , I believe that our education system is rather stressful. Recently, the mid year exams system were scrapped off. I do not think this is a good idea as the students do not know what standard they are on. Mid year exam is to check whether the students know what they learnt so far. Without it, they might flung their End Of Year exam. Our topics are also much more advanced compared to other countries. I also believe that MOE should care more about our mental health being rather than just our studies. Thus I believe that our education system is rather stressful.]]> 2022-03-23 02:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ms_cindylim1/uubcnjaa8j5jcn24/wish/2108765928 https://padlet.com/ms_cindylim1/uubcnjaa8j5jcn24/wish/2108808664 Yes , I do enjoy participating in group work discussion . Firstly , this can improves bonds between classmate . It can also help strengthen the rule of teamwork . To me  , it would be more effective as everybody can share their different opinions , this can make the result of the group work more reliable and accurate. Overall , there are many benefits to group work . Some may argue that especially those who prefer to work alone that being in a group is a headache as some of their teammates would not contribute to the group work but also get benefits . Well , even though that always happen , we can ensure that does not happen by making a deal with them . When we make a deal with them , this forces them to participate even though they do not want to , this will make them do the work they have too . Of course some may continue to argue that the teammates are basis to each other and do not do the work equally as intended to . We can ensure this does not happen by seperating the work equally just like how we treat everybody equally . Hence , Yes , I do enjoy participating in group work discussion .

Prompt: Do you enjoy participating in group work discussion? Why or why not? '
I enjoy participating in group work discussions as I am able to share the workload with people if we are working on the same project or work. This would help save time and effort when compared to working alone.

(a) Do you prefer working on group projects or individual assignments? why?
I prefer to work alone due to time. At times when I am free, my group mates  might not be free which an inconvenience. There could also be a communication problem among us which would not occur when working alone.

(b) There have been a lot of mixed comments about our education system today. What are your views? 
Its is very stressful as I feel that the exams dates are too close together which is pressuring on students like me and there is too much school work to do with so little time.]]> 2022-03-23 15:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ms_cindylim1/uubcnjaa8j5jcn24/wish/2110002877
