Usefulness of Major Assignments

The major assignments that we had done, Critical Thinking in News and Politics ( the first major project) and Critical Evaluation of a Social Organization (the second major project), were very useful. It had helped many of us to better learn how to work within a group environment, especially a more web based one rather than face to face. This was in some sense a bit easier way to meet with groups, from my experience. This is especially true for me and my groups, since many of my group members were on different schedule, having a web base type of meeting sometimes does help, because we do not to have to prolong the meeting time which sometimes slows down the work productivity. Besides this, what else is useful from doing these two major assignments is the re-iteration information that we have just recently learned. The projects are based on subjects that we have learned about within our Critical Thinking book by Epstein, which makes to review and apply it to our project. This helps, in my opinion, remember the information regarding the subjects learned.
