Hi Outsider,
I understand regarding the derailment of our task. We seemed to spend too much time deciding one particular element and only around 5 mins to the end we put in some physical action, in hindsight we probably needed 5 minutes per element, not 20 minutes on one, 5 on the rest...
In a sense it was an unwinnable scenario, I know my task had some impossibilities on my own sheet which wasn't discussed, if I could not figure it out I didn't want to waste our groups time.
When we both reach the learning academy we will laugh over a beer about it. (pity we cant really discuss specifics here)
@constipated,
We asked at the end and the assessor told us they were trying to bring the time frames down from previous years. She was still unable to give us a concrete time frame but suggested around 4 weeks.
