Individual Reflective Learning Log

The research was conducted on the ISP’s in UK and the products and services offered by them.

1. The approach adopted to clarify the assessment task

To clarify the task assessment our group members sat together and discussed the various issues associated with it. We defined the project proposal first and then the research objectives were made clear. The questions included the research problems, research objectives, time frame , budget available, the number of team members and their situation.

2. The approach adopted to analysing the task requirements.

There was a good approach to analyse the requirements of the task. Because the project was to do the research on the ISP’s in  UK and their product and services, it needed enough research and the time was only 3 months with 5 members in the team. That is why it was decided to select a sample from various part of outer and inner London rather than the whole kingdom. The task requirements included a questionnaires survey including the major ISP’s in UK, the level of competition and their effect, the customers preference and expectations etc. To analyse the task requirements we had to make a small survey in a classroom before analysing the later task because that gave a clear idea on what to do and how to do.

3. The division of work amongst group members and the major tasks undertaken by the group member.

The members of the group were Sachin, Yogendra, Salim, Munib and  myself. We decided to make a team leader but that was not appropriate because of lots of situational factors and so we just decided to carry on the task with regular meetings and online meetings. The division of work were as follows:

Sachin: To Prepare questionnaires after the pilot testing

Yogendra: To  Collect the samples to be taken , collect their mailing address and post the questionnaires to them

Salim. To conduct the online surveys and find out the level of competition.

Munib: To Conduct face to face survey on the streets.

Madan: To Conduct surveys at schools and colleges to target student users. Prepare the final report after collecting all the relevant information.

All the tasks were positively taken by the group members with great interest.
