1. Evaluate your contribution to the group and your own work ethic?
I think that I have done well in participating in my group with the sharing of ideas and the completion of work that was assigned to me by my group and my self. I think that my work ethic is good because i get things done on time and of high quality.
2. What did you find your strengths and weaknesses were?
My strengths would probably be making sure everything is done on time within my group because I’m a organized person. My weaknesses would be starting a piece of work (eg. peramble) but after I get into it it gets easier to do and finish.
