Actually I find it quite awkward to post the report writing experience on the blog, when the report is actually not really submitted yet. But by thinking deeper, probably this is for us to share our opinions and experience when it is still not too late. If there is something that still needs improvement, we can still make up.
Reflecting on our communication process, our thoughts were quite clear among each other. We tried to make use of our time during class as much as possible, so that we did not have to meet up outside of lessons. We assigned tasks and deadlines of each week during class. If there were any changes or announcements, we kept each other informed in time through emails and smses.
One thing that I am happy about the group is the interpersonal relationships that were formed. Xiao Tong and Baoqing not only had rational thoughts and opinions, they did not forget to have fun during work. Although sometimes we were forgetful, thanks to Xiao Tong who was more alert and the other two of us who kept on supporting, we managed to keep ourselves on track. Baoqing, on the other hand, would say things that made the environment more relaxed and not so boring.
On a personal basis, I have learnt that we have to make use of time as much as possible to save time. Planning the whole research process right at the start may even out the workload between the members and give everybody a clear idea of their job scope and deadlines. On the other hand, this report writing process did help me in my thesis writing, like the format of pie-charts.
Thanks Xiao Tong and Baoqing for being so cooperative and fun. I enjoyed being with you all.

Thank you, Sea Ming, for the honest reflection (and for all your hard work!). I'm glad your group group had a good chemistry and that each of you played an important role in the process. Certainly having fun is also important, as you mentioned.
I look forward to reading your work!
Yes, having fun makes the process more interesting and leaves an extra good feeling. It is a bonus when everything else in the project is progressing. Balance in a project group is important too and your group seems to have a good mix of people. And in small groups it's easier to control and monitor the progress rather than in larger groups. I guess I prefer small groups.
