Azrii’s Donegal diary – Day 10

Blogged during Friday – 2nd July

Day 10, the deadline for our group poster explaining about “the evolution of the Donegal basin”. As we still need data for the quadrat fossil analysis in some areas of Bundoran bay. I volunteered to do the data gathering along with Jamal, who was also in the same group. I was struggling with the quadrat analysis and had to be reminded by Jamal how it should be done. But slowly though, I started to pick up things bit by bit. In the end, it took more than I expected it would be. Few hours just to do quadrat fossils analysis in three different localities. Of course, wouldn’t want to waste the opportunity to take some pictures and some “vaining” would’nt hurt, right? ...after the data gathering though.

I felt really useless in the group due to the fact that I could only data gather for my group but not able to process them so they are useable to be “sticked on” to the poster. I really need to improve on such skills. Turned our group was the first to hand in the poster. Feeling glad that the final group project’s over, it was still too early too relax as we had to hand in our notebook the following morning for the final assessment worth 30% of the module too. The group poster’s deadline was 8.30pm so you could imagine people still had to work till late at night to tidy up their notebooks.
