Blog Assignment 7 -- Reflections on the MIdterm -- Due April 17
Please refelct on your midtermm assignment and its presentation. Find an article on group dynamics that roughly approximates what your experience was, and answer the following questions:
http://www.shirky.com/writings/group_enemy.html
1. In your group were there people who did more than their fair share, and those who did less? How did that affect your group's performance? Where would you put your own contribution, among the most or among the least? On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, please rate your performance compared to the others in the group (5 would be the average contributor).
I feel like everyone did their fair share of course we were missing a couple people during our presentation and I think that did affect our performance since we expected to have more people during our 20 minutes. My presentation was not very long I had meant for it to be longer but I get really nervous talking in front of classes. I feel like I would deserve maybe a 7 or 8 just because I did my presentation and answered questions at the end but I defenetly think mine could have been better.
2. If you could, would you remove a member from your group at this point? If you could add someone, what would be his or her characteristics that would add to the ability of your group to do its job? No need to name names.
I wouldn't want to remove anyone from our group were all different and I think that's a good thing to have in a group.
3. How important were basic workplace rules
in your group? Rate on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, how important the were the following:
A. Showing up 9
B. Doing your fair share 9
C. Being on time 10
D. Responding timely to email and communicating effectively with other members 9
E. Handling conflict among group members 10
F. Being present in the group -- not distracted by outside cell phone calls or text messages when the group is meeting. 10
4. Please come up with Five Rules for Having an Effective Group.
1. Being cooperative
2. Listening to what everyone has to say
3. Do more as a group instead of individually
4. Speak your opinions
5. Meet up other than just in class
