2. What does the partner challenge mean, and why is it important? CIS students are given a challenging topic from particular companies, and they provide their responses to both company representatives and their mentors at the end of the semester. The partner challenge is significant as it provides students with real-world problem-solving experience, allowing them to apply their knowledge and skills in a practical setting

3. Real-life Example – Personal anecdote Last semester, during the Partner Challenge for our final presentation, my team and I encountered a significant issue stemming from a lack of time management among team partners. We had diligently divided the workload among us, ensuring each member had clear responsibilities. As the deadline approached, I completed my assigned tasks and eagerly awaited the submission of my teammate’s sections. However, as the submission deadline loomed closer, it became apparent that not all team members had managed their time effectively. One of my partners failed to complete their section on time, leaving us in a precarious situation. Despite repeated reminders and attempts to assist, their part remained incomplete. With little time left, I found myself grappling with the dilemma of whether to rewrite their section or risk submitting an incomplete project. Finally, I reluctantly took on the additional work, sacrificing my own time and energy to ensure the project's completion. This experience underscored the critical importance of effective time management.
