Contribution to Group Project

Alas, class is nearly over and it is time to reflect on what has been done.

For our group project, I assisted in editing our slideshow and contributed a number of pictures and organizational ideas.  The main thing I wanted to focus on for this presentation was discussion, not lecture.  So I made sure that the group felt comfortable with that and we began trying to figure out the best way to create discussion.  We decided that video clips worked well and since the class has become to used to their use, it would be an easy way to present ideas.  Unfortunately, some of my other ideas weren't included in the presentation, as we wanted to keep consistancy and keep the time down on our presentation. 
Working in a group was at times, difficult and it was hard to accept when certain members took over, excluding some really good ideas or even members from the group.  Overall, however, I feel as though our project turned out well (aside form the controversy it created).  The only suggestion I would have for future group projects is to limit the size of groups, because it was extremely difficult to get everyone together and communicate effectively.
