When we were first told that we are to present our project in a form of a webpage/blog, I was really surprised. It was a different way of presenting a project, though it was not my first time experiencing such a unique assignment. Back in my secondary school days, we were also tasked to do a project, and present it on a website. It was not a pleasant experience, as it was difficult trying to ensure that our work is able to be loaded on the internet, and that the coding was working. Thus, the moment I heard about this, I was apprehensive as to what will happen along the course of this project.
I guess the major problem faced was the data collection. There was a lot of misunderstanding as to how the data was to be collected. The group was insufficiently prepared, and at times I was at a loss as to what was to be done. It was really frustrating for me as our schedule was tight, and yet we were unable to proceed with the data collection smoothly. However, due to some help from other cohort mates that are doing the same study as us, we were able to proceed on smoothly.
I never really thought much about BMI, to be honest. I wasn't really health-conscious and thus, saw little need for taking a BMI reading. However, through this project, I learnt more about the use of BMI. This project was also very thought-provoking, and it led to me researching more about BMI, and what factors affects BMI. It was interesting to see that some people was classified as overweight, not because he has high body fat, but had big muscle bulk, and thus it made me wonder if BMI was an accurate measure.
Overall, I did have fun doing this project, as it was a break away from the norm. I did not have to do a powerpoint presentation, and I also had the opportunity to learn something new, such as using the SPSS system. Our group decided to create a blog, and it was enjoyable to me, as I like to blog! (:
I wish we had more choices in choosing topics to research on for our projects, as having more variety might make it more fun for students to enjoy!
