Reflection

Today's finally the dateline for submission as we compile all our printed materials to be filed and submitted. Throughout this project, it has been a fun experience with my fantastic groupmates despite the hard times we had.

I learnt many things upon the completion of this project. There were plenty of ups and downs but finally we managed to survive through the whole project. I learnt the importance of communication within my group and the need to keep myself updated throughout the project so that i do not get lost somewhere. We faced many problems along the way to complete our project such as computers not working, the need to restart the computer every so often just so that we can carry on with our projects and differing opinions within the group since we are all unsure of how the project should look like in the end.

Important values i learnt through the completion of this project are perseverance, determination and diligence. Perseverance is important as we faced a lot of setbacks while doing the project. If we had not encouraged each other and pushed on till the end, we would not have been able to complete the project earlier or even in time. Being determined to accomplish the goal we set for completing project as early as we can, we managed to attain our goal with sheer determination of not giving up. Also, we had to come back for multiple project meetings during the 2 weeks break we had and diligently try to complete as much of the project as we can for each and every meeting.

ACCPAC being a new and unfamiliar software to me, has shown that it does help to make the job of accountants easier despite it being a complicated tool to use. Without the need to calculate figures over and over again while helping in the reduction of errors when entering entries made the workload of accountants lighter and less taxing on their minds. However, it takes alot of time to master the software and to use it at will with ease.

Despite the fact that the labs are not always available for us to do our project, we stayed back as much as we could to fit into the timeslots where the labs are free for usage in order to complete our project as soon as we could. There are times of frustration when the computers create endless problems for us but going to the lab nearly became a daily routine already.

Finally, I would like to thank my great and fun groupmates for making this project an enjoyable one.
