Discuss the things that went well on the site, the things that you found difficult, things you would change if you could do it again and what your group did on the project and how each of the group member personally contributed to the project.

Plagiarism and Collusion of Material:
One of the most common reasons for programming plagiarism is leaving work until the last minute. Avoid this by making sure that you know what you have to do (not necessarily how to do it) as soon as an assessment is set. Then decide what you will need to do in order to complete the assignment. Since the web pages are submitted as a group, ensure that all members of your group follow strict guidelines to avoid plagiarism.
