My project group is C05B, with group members Anni and Anuj. We wanted to meet at 12pm to 2pm, but Anuj has a lesson before that so we held our meeting on Thursday 3pm to 4pm at PGP conference room 3B. Our agenda for this meeting was to decide what are the classes needed to complete our assignment for the module CG1102.
The meeting went quite smoothly but there were a few times during the meeting where there was miscommunication and we need to explain ourselves again to state our point. One such time is when we were deciding how many classes to implement altogether. Anuj was explaining that we do not need that many classes but I did not understand his explanation. Therefore I asked him to explain to me again. It was then that I understood what he was saying and I agreed with his above statement.
Although I think the meeting went rather smoothly, I think there was much room for improvement. We should have reserved a room in advance so as to avoid wasting time looking for rooms. Luckily, the room that we decided on was empty at that time. Besides that, reserving a room lets you know how well is it equipped for your purpose. When we went to the room, there was nothing high enough for us to put the camera such that it could film the three of us. Thus, we had to improvise and put a chair on the table. Another factor is proper equipment. Halfway through the meeting, my camera ran out of memory. That made us waste about five minutes of time as I had to transfer the video into my computer first and clear the memory to continue taking the video.
Finally, I must say that I have wonderful teammates as without them the meeting would not have gone so smoothly.

I think everyone has miscommunications in meetings. Explain themselves again and again is a problem, however, it makes people understand more about each other.
Afterall, having good teamwork skills is necessary for all situations, I think.

Hey Michael,
I like how you have analysed the problems faced during your meeting. It is a good thing o learn from your mistakes.
However, I feel that you could have described more about the miscommunication during your meeting.
Overall, your post is well written.

Dear Michael,
I think it’s normal to have some miscommunication during meetings. There are times when you might not understand what the other person is saying or you might have misheard him or her. Therefore, it is a good idea to clarify when you are unsure in meetings, instead of just sitting passively.
Perhaps you could have emptied your camera’s memory card before the meeting so as to ensure that it has adequate space. Or you could even purchase a bigger memory card. I think that the camera running out of memory isn’t that big an issue since you managed to notice it. Just treat the 5 minutes as a break during the meeting and get a drink or something.
Overall, your meeting seems to have gone pretty well with only a few minor setbacks.
Regards,
Russell
Dear,
I think every group face the same problem of miscommunication. I feel that your group can solve it effectively because everyone is well-prepared.
This post is well-written. However, it is more complete if you can include some reflections about how your project went.
Best regards,
Duc
