lessons learned
To me doing projects used to be the most boring part of tertiary education. But it isn't anymore. Many many valuable lessons are being learnt during the slow painful process... at least from me, i learnt something out of it.
Projects are tedious. Yes, they indeed are. Projects, especially writing reports, are the MOST tedious things in life. Much midnight oil is being burnt to do the reports. We slog like hell, typing and editing and typing an editing them till we get satisfactory results.
- Lesson learnt: No matter how tough a matter may seem, it is not impossible to conquer it as long as you put in your heart and soul. Even if the wold world doesn't care, DO IT STILL! The key is Never Give Up. Projects are tough stuff, but tough stuffs make you tougher.
Projects cause conflict between classmates. Yes, they do. Even when you are grouped with your friends. The process of doing projects let you understand the flaws of your pals. Their laziness, incompetence in doing something simple, blah blah... It simply spoils the whole image you have of your friend at first. Problems usually arise when your group members do not contribute to your project. Then when it comes to peer evaluation, all the remarks comes out.
- Lesson learnt: When it comes to projects, no one is your friend. Get down to serious work and gain the respect you want. Don't let others pull you down it is not worth it. Projects make you more tolerant towards people. You have to bear with all the free loaders, the excuses they make for not completing allocated jobsin time, all the shit they produce.
Projects show us the reality. All the flaws of people surfaces at go. You see everything, good and bad.
