My Reflection

Overall i feel that the cas project was quite challenging and time consuming. During the two weeks break, me and my group members met up a couple of times to start on our project, we started later than the other groups as some of us had other commitments so it was difficult to find a time to meet up together as a group.

At the beggining, we had difficulty using the accpac system, but with the help of our classmates, we manage to get going with our project. We were doing fine, but unfortunately we lost our hardrive halfway through the project, thus we had to re-do the whole project from the start.

It was quite tough for us as we were lagging behind the other groups, but we made it a point to complete the project on time, and some of us even stay till late evening just to complete the project. We manage to complete it on time thanks to everyone who have done their part and also with some help from our our classmates.
What i contrbuted


I learned that in order for the group to successfully complete the project, every group member have to do their part well and the whole group have to work as a team. Firstly i would like to thank all my wonderful group members for their contribution to the group, thnx to kimberly, xue qian and priscilla for completing the theory questions and doing the tedious data entries, nadirah set up the AP,AR and GL accounts and the reccuring and balance day adjustments entries, and our efficient team leader wei li, who lead us through the project and was always to the rescue when problems arise, like when the files were corrupted or printer jammed etc. And as for me, i did the GL and AR transactions, organise group meetings and sometimes did some manual chores like buying food and hogging the printer haha:)

What i have Learn
There is simply too much things that i have learn from this project, i would just list out some of the more important ones. One of the most important thing that i have learn is getting organised, due to time constraint and the difficulty of the project, we had to make sure that we get things organise because one small mistake could mean that we had to re-do certain parts. I have also learn that managing stress is very important, somrtimes during project meetings, we may get stuck at certain parts and have no idea what to do. Some of us may panick and especially when is the deadline is near, thus i have learn that managing stress is very vital and lucky i got great group mates who can lift up the atmosphere for us.
Some of the skills that i have learn is the accpac software and blogging. While doing the project, me and my groupmates faced many problems using the accpac system, but after guidance from the other groups, we learn from our mistakes and i am more in touch with accpac now:) Before this project, I have never created a blog before nor having any interest in it. But after the project, I have not only learn how to create and manage my own blog, I also found out that blogging is quite fun and interesting:)
