Change of Hearts-Small Group Project Essay

We made sure to stay onto of our work and were able to go back and help other group member who worked after us with their parts as well. Because we worked through Google Drive, we were able to all work on the project equally at the same time. We all logged in, created our slides, added our information and picture, and left comments for one another on there. Bhavik introduced me to a new meaning to the quote, ”I don’t want to see you—die—trying not to suffer,” which I was able to later use in my presentation (Baldwin 264). I set up a group text message so we were able to ask each other questions and stay connected at anytime. Our group also met up in the library the morning before presenting so we could discus how we would present to the class. Working in the group setting was very important because we were able to hear each other’s different interpretations of scenes we did not understand or scenes we analyzed

When you live with me and my family and you hear the sound, "beep, beep, beep", coming from upstairs, you know its mom cooking in the kitchen again. You head up the stairs and you see smoke everywhere, all the windows are open, and there she is standing on her tip toes waving a dishcloth by the smoke detector trying to get it to stop. This occurs probably more than it should at the Maasdam household, however, I wouldn't have it any other way. Even though cooking isn't one of my mom strengths, being one of the most supportive, loving, trustworthy, and having a servant heart is.

While in nursing school my group was selected to do a presentation about the African American culture. I wanted to be the leader of the presentation. When we all got together I had everyone discuss what information needed to be gathered, what resources we would use, and how we would present it. I assigned my group members roles on what parts they had to do and encouraged them to help one another out if someone was unable to find any information about their section. Over the weeks I would make sure and send out emails that consisted of additional ideas the group had, information that could be useful for the presentation, and followed up with everyone. Before we were going to present I set up group meetings so that we could organize the presentation

The dialogue just seemed to be too uncertain, as mentioned earlier. Even with such group roles so recognizable, as well as having goals set, I believe this group has no chance of success past this meeting. In conclusion, if this case study shows anything it is that enthusiasm is vital for success. No matter the situation, lack of enthusiasm simply brings a negative energy. The next small group I participate in, this theory will be kept in

The book change of heart is about june and her daughter having to continue with their lives after her first husband dies in a terrible car accident. Later on in life she marries Kurt. He was the officer on the scene of her first husband's car accident. He kinda took over the role of Elizabeth’s dad.

That's when Shay shows up and June went against her gut feeling and hired him. One day when Junes comes home to find both kurt and elizabeth dead. Everyone blames shay for both of the murders. They also try to charge

My Social Problem Research Project group consisted of Jennifer Oppor, Jordan Koski, Emily Johnson, Ethan Kilgore, Micaela Haupert, and April Westrum, and Me (Erin Bosman). Our group had an end goal to generate commitment to soaring above stigmas surrounding learning disabilities, and more specifically soaring above stigmas surrounding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We focused on ADHD for our social problem. That's our overall task, and interest of the group. To be successful as a group, teams must share a commitment to their goal or task. In order to be effective in their approach to the end goal or purpose of a group, the members must unite and agree to put the overall interest of the group above their own interests (Forsyth,

How did my group come to what we have now? It was an interesting journey that we had to go through. A journey of a lot of words, ribbing, and creative thinking. At first when the group project of announced, I freaked out. I did not know what was going to happen…if I had a group to be in, if there were enough people to be in my group, or if I had to do all of the work myself. The first meeting of the Climate Project I was in this group called “The Clean-up Crew”. We only had two people in the group…including myself, so it was not looking too bright for the group to survive. We had talked about potential cleaning inventions, and what needed to happen for the pollution to stop going into the ocean. However, the group had to be disbanded because my one group member did not show up to class, so I had to join another group who were hurting for members. The group I joined next was the group I ended up with the whole semester…the “Education” group.

After the presentation was over, I felt that our presentation would’ve gone a lot smoother if everyone met up to shared and create the content, was well prepared and did a small rehearsal beforehand. Then maybe the presentation would flow better than it did. This presentation showed me that in the future, I should have a note card filled with questions ready to ask whenever it is needed and make the activities more engaging so that people can respond and interact more. Most importantly, I learned that group work has to be group work to make it fair so that everyone will be able to contribute and understand the

My group's presentation and discussion went pretty smooth. My group was prepared for the lecture we were giving to the class. Our material was very straightforward and very informative. To me, it was repeated information that I already got taught. Our group started a slide show and everyone contributed into it. I believe that each one of us had the same amount of work. We all split up all the work to who wanted what and who was good at which. Before starting the slideshows, we all told each other that each was responsible for 4-5 slideshows. We did not want to have one person doing more than the rest of the group. I contributed the slideshows that had to do with individual Latino/a students. I presented the experiment that the author presented

To get a different perspective on leadership philosophy, I interviewed a squadron commander on his most challenging leadership issue. [3] The squadron commander told me the most challenging issue he ever encountered was a decision he had to make about an unprofessional relationship of two military members who worked in the unit. Although, he never told me the exact situation of what happened between this male and female, I believe it was a very interesting situation. A female in the unit accused a male of sexual harassment and was extremely distraught about the situation but never truly reported what happened. It truly was a “he said”, “she said” situation. The commander went to both parties and asked for voluntary statements of what happened,

Transitions. Everyone goes through them, I mean everyone goes through puberty, childhood to adulthood, new jobs/schools, new familial additions, etc... I'm here to tell you about the biggest transition I've been through. Now if you know me you would think it would've been when I moved from my beloved home state of Georgia to the unexplored territory called Florida. Yet as huge as that transition has been there is one other transition that outranks moving. It's called becoming a pastoral family. This was completely uncharted waters. Even though my grandpa is a pastor he lives in Venezuela so there wasn't much of a possibility for an apprenticeship. Now along with another pastoral family (we're co-pastors), we had to lead a small congregation.

The first part of our rehearsal was in class during a free session. We sort of just got together as a group and try to figure out our topics and what everyone wanted to do. It was hard for us at first because our schedules were busy so all we had was the time that was given in class. We had time to start working on the PowerPoint. We chose the websites that we thought we wanted to do and that could relate to the topic of the subject the best. We made a PowerPoint that everyone could edit and add what they wanted to. Each individual added some content about how and what they did or have done to help the youth of empowerment. I feel as if we got a lot achieved for just one class period of time, also with a couple of students missing.

This would have given them a better idea of what to say about the sense they chose. I felt that some of our group members could have had more to say about their sense and were slightly unprepared. I also believe it could have been because they were nervous. Next time I would practice presenting our collage in front of our group before we did in front of the class, that way we can give each other presentation tips. I also like the idea of not working in groups because I enjoy doing my own thing without others input. The only thing about working in groups I enjoy is doing less work and not feeling overwhelmed with the amount of work that is

We were all able to communicate with each other very well and allowed one another to voice their opinions about how they felt we were doing things. We also all got along with each other which made it fairly easy to figure out our group roles and responsibilities. While deciding on the topic of our first presentation, the informative speech, we each looked up different ideas and told each other what we were all interested in. Once we got an idea of what each person found interesting we were now able to pick a topic we would all enjoy researching and learning about. Now all we had to do was decide who was responsible for all the different roles we had to fulfill in order to get the presentation done. Another thing we had to do

I have presented to large groups but this small group was different. When I was offered a chance to make a difference, I grabbed it. The goal – open their minds to possibilities of the world- math, science, geography – you name it. I covered a range of examples. When I heard their answer to my last question, my immediate thoughts, “Hmmm, this is interesting.”
