Your task for this week’s Blog Assignment is to select one (from the given list of 10 items above) which you think will be most important for your Group work assignment and explain your reasons why you have made this choice?

Answer:

1. You have to thoroughly research your subject, not only from the link supplied
but also from library and other internet sources.

I have chosen the first item from the above, because I believe my group will benefit from researching in different numbers of sources rather than looking only in one material or from the link provided. Making a comprehensive and thorough research about the subject, could make group members to know all the areas of information gathered from the sources. This could play an effective method of knowledge, although it can sometimes consume time. Therefore, in my view the first item would be the most important method to take.
