Can you tell me about a project that you worked on at school or college?

Working life is full of dealing with projects of one kind or another, from getting a document sent, to managing a building contract, to supervising a team of accounts clerks. This question is being asked because the answer will give an indication of the way you would deal with this kind of work. You will need to explain how the project was conceived, what the task was, who else was involved in the work, how you worked together, how you handled any difficulties, your particular contribution and what you think you gained from the exercise, particularly if you learned anything.
Were there any particular issues in the management of the project that were significant? What helped or hindered at the planning stage? Did everything go according to plan? Looking back, what would you do differently?
