Before the meetings, I have read the relevant guidance and instructions that was posted in the internet website which will be used as the main communication tool during the period when the research is carried out. But soon I found out that the preparation work that I done was not enough.

Compared with the first meeting, more questions had been raised as a result a two way communication is established. Everyone had begun to work as a team. Information had been shared in order
