PBL Reflection

   I thought a few of my successes were making the presentation pretty funny with my hands on and jokes, I also thought I did really good as our group manager because I stayed open minded and listened to everyone's suggestion, I also tried to when our group was fighting over a idea to help each side meet halfway.

   I encountered a barrier with Devon actually, he was having a hard time paying attention so I stay around with him and helped him get back on track. Then I encountered a problem with our writing because it wasn't done, but then I researched and finished it in a day.

   I learned a lot about team work and how to cooperate with other people. I also learned a bunch of presentation skills and tips.

  I think this project with help me with my future work because it taught me great tips on how to make presentation's and things to do while presenting to spice it up.

   I would everything if I could redo the presentation but I would change the video, the CGI video didn't make much sense and my voice was horrible.

I believe that the vehicles we made in garry's mod can help by teaching people about the physics and how to use physics to build vehicles.
