Firstly I would like to state that my involvement with this project was not typical of the usual contribution I bring to group dynamics. This was due to personal issues and my inability to get to university for all the time tabled sessions. In previous group projects I have taken on more leadership roles for projects and have been in charge of the concepts and general direction of the work produced.
