MY CONTRIBUTION TO THE GROUP AND PROJECT WORK
In this project, me as one of the members of Deeptronix has contributed a lot and same goes to my other group members. One of my contributions in this group is designing the floor plan of the general purpose labs for our proposed building by using Edraw Max software which I bought from Shopee. This software was very easy to use which made me faster at doing my work. It’s easier to make the shape, line and to add some words. For the preliminary analysis in Task 2, I have come out with a few questions and answers regarding the hardware and software of our network infrastructure. In task 3, I did research about the cabling, desktop PC and also wireless access point and considered the prices of items by its capabilities and qualities according to our group budget. Besides that, I also contribute through other parts such as doing the reports final checking, report formatting and compiling and dividing the task for each group member for each phase.
CONTRIBUTION OF OTHER MEMBERS TO THE GROUP & THE PROJECT WORK
My other group members also have done their best in completing all tasks given throughout the project completion. Wan Ahmad Faris has contributed a lot in this project where he helped other group members to understand the project task very well and did the references. He also gave a lot of ideas in this project and he did the comparison of the device's price in Task 3. My other group member, Muhammad Zulfadhly, contributed to the design of our plan after combining all of our ideas. He is quite creative to draw out the floor plan which at the end he can make all the group members satisfied with it. Apart from that, he also gives consideration and cooperation while doing all the tasks through this project. Lastly, Safura Balqis is someone who did her work efficiently and fast in completing the task given. Throughout this project, she also contributes a lot where she makes explanations and gives examples according to our project requirements. She also contributes in designing the main network topology of our project.
HOW I WORK AS A GROUP
In this project, I helped my team members as much as I could. For each task, I tried to remind and alert other members to complete their respective tasks. I tried to make sure that the work is equally distributed to everyone and they like to do them. Other than that, I also provide them sources of information to improve our project report from the seniors. I was also trying to encourage each other to form good partnerships. All in all, I think I have done my best and contributed as much as I can to the team.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM WORKING AS A GROUP
Throughout this project, the four of us work as a team to make sure all tasks can be completed before the due date given and all the content has been arranged neatly. After completing all the tasks and finalizing this project, I learned that we should not just be good team members but we also need to try to be a good leader. Other than that, I learned to be a more punctual and responsible person. Everyone has their own part to be done in each task. Therefore each of us must always work together to complete the tasks within the time allocated. We always help each other to solve the problems that we have encountered along the completion of the project. Last but not least, I learned to accept the opinions of others and listen with an open mind.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM DOING THE PROJECT
This project is not as easy as I thought. Although some of the tasks were quite challenging and difficult, me and my team still managed to complete all the tasks given. Hence, personally I learned a lot about the Network Communication subject in depth . This project really helped me and my team members to overcome the obstacles and taught us about the process of building a good network infrastructure by implementing what we have learned throughout the course in this semester. This project also taught me how to manage our time very well. As a result, we could submit all the tasks on time. Moreover, this project taught us how to handle a project with a certain amount of budget. This is a good example of case study that might be very useful when we enter real working life. I hope I can make a project like this as a team in the future because it helps a lot with our study to understand the theory that we learned from the class.
COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS ON PROJECT
After all, I could say that the project of this course is one of the toughest and longest reports that I have done in this semester since we have a lot of difficult and challenging tasks to be done. I have gained a lot of experience. In the report making, when we created the floor plan, the cabling and measurements estimation had taught us many things such as thinking logically, learned to differentiate between router, modem, switch and calculating budget for a report. In this project completion, I also get to know more about what network is all about in detail. We need to do research and study a lot of things and new terms that are related to the network just to make sure that the facts that we stated were right and reasonable. As a Network and Computer Security student, I’m really happy with this project and I want to thank my team members, Safura, Zulfadhly and Faris.
