Answers: Task 1 1. The group members of the presentation team meet each and every Monday in the afternoon at 1 pm. The group members of the presentation team also meet during the weekdays if required to edit the presentation. The meeting is a very useful and productive as the group members of the presentation meets in the room in the work place to collect and gathers all the important and valuable data and informations to complete the presentation work (Asherman, 2012). In the meeting all the team member of the group gathers the valuable and important data and informations of the presentation and divides the section among the group members of the presentation for the materials of the presentation. The group members of the presentation team should meet in the work place to complete the presentation because the work place is the only place for all the team members to meet and to concentrate on the presentation materials. 2. The group members of the presentation team are created by the teacher. The teacher has taken the initiative to create the group members of the presentation team. This is because there should be differentiation in the work and also in the culture of the student, also in the language used by the student and many other things (Geisler, 2012). But the group members of the presentation team works as a team unit to develop the relation by the group members of the presentation team from the first meeting by break the ice to make the weather more positive to work. During the meeting among the group members of the presentation team, few conflicts rises in some issues related to choose the best sector to discus or to modify the presentation material after the members of the presentation team has finished the research because while working some problem rises which should be solved by the members of the presentation as a team work. The group members of the presentation team worked so hard during editing the presentation that the group members of the presentation team finished their work just before the day of the presentation. 3. The roles among the group members of the presentation team are divided by making the structure of the presentation material together from the material of the presentation. After making the structure of the presentation material, the group members of the presentation team search about the information related to the topic and then started editing the materials in the presentation and then upload the files in the social media web sites such as Facebook and Google Doc to discuss about the presentation material related to the topic in the next meeting. 4. The group members of the presentation team can improve or enhance the team working by organized the time of meeting to discuss about the presentation material related to the topic in the next meeting to become more than one day per week (Geisler, 2012). This is because the group members of the presentation team sometimes become confused if any of the members of the group was failed to meet the other group members. 5. The group members of the presentation team believe that there is different ability to complete the work among the group members. This is because the background of the presentation topic is very challenging as some materials of the topic are a bit confusing. For example: the group members of the presentation team never worked in a group. Working in a group is a bit confusing and it is a different style of work which takes some time to use to with the style of the group work (Frontiera and Leidl, 2012). The most important things is to peer assessment the group members to work together because some of the group members have lots of knowledge about the topic some about presentation design etc. This means work and discipline is the most important evaluation criteria. The peer assessment in the opinion of the team work is divided into the meetings, working with the group, finishing the work and made the presentation with the team members of the presentation team. 6. The group members of the presentation team satisfied with the work done by the group members of the presentation team as a unit by managing the team and helping all the team members of the presentation group to perform better, working with the topics of the presentation (Escudeiro and Escudeiro, 2012). This is because it is very baneful but about the learning the journey it will help the members of the group to discuss about the strengths and weaknesses and will also help the members of the group to understand the perfect theory of the topic. This will also help the team members to work as a team unit and will also help the members of the team to deal with the conflicts arise in the presentation procedures. Task 2 1. The strengths and weaknesses of the presentation are discussed in the following points: Strengths: 1. The group members of the presentation team have self confidence about the material used in the topic of the presentation, as the group members have worked hard with the presentation. 2. The data and information used in the topic of the presentation is a theory based presentation and all the data and the informations of the topic and the theory used in the topic is referenced in the presentation (Escudeiro and Escudeiro, 2012). 3. The group members of the presentation team have read a lot about the topic and the material related to the topic used in the presentation. This will help the group members to answer all the questions asked by their teachers. 4. Another strength of the group members of the presentation team is the body language. As the group members have self confidence about the topic. Weaknesses: The group members of the presentation team have not practiced with the presentation so they have lack of confidence in it. 2.
