1. Judging from your experience in this collective project, what are the benefits and limitations of this form?
Benefits:
-Ideas are generated faster
-Individual work load is getting lighter.

Limitations:
-People got confused on clarify the topic.
-It was a bit hard to unify ideas.
-organizing.

Did this experiment work? (explain why or why not.)
It really worked and helped me feel and understand the positive and negatives of multiple participating.During the lab I was not only focus on my teamwork, but also observing other teams’ process(such as their talking , their confusion and decisions. This experiment lab made the class tempo much more lively, and also showed the issues of crowd sourcing. Such as organizing issues

How does this research project differ in form, style, breadth, depth and content from one you would have produced by yourself? Give specific examples.
The style, tones and opinions would be more unique in individual project. Collective projects is more objective but less focusing.but people can keep generating deeper content while reviewing others knowledge and experience. For example, while we were discussing about the difference between scales, I found it was very easier to get new ideas based on others idea, which can push the discussion into a deeper level.

In an other hand, it is harder to organize when compare to individual project. The best example is the mess on the white board. We signed up posting order on it by using different color of pens and different writing styles, which makes less hierarchy and make me feel “too busy”. From this I can guess that the final result of our class Wiki will be similar to the board – which contains different writing stlyes, less hierarchy and less unified tones.
