Group Oral Presentation Report

Although I did see that there was some internal conflict within some members. Some members seem like they were really having a hard time and expresses that they had a hard week. I thought that the group handle conflict well, they saw that some members were struggling and they offered support to them and encourage them to think about how far they have gotten. I thought that one member offered this really good advice to think about the days that they been sober and not the months’. When you think about it in days, being sober in days is so much more impactful than months and this idea such made the group members really happy and satisfied.

Through out the process of creating our project as a group there wasn’t as many obstacles as I thought there would be. In other words, everything went smooth it was just what I wanted. I believe the reason for such great outcome was because we all learned how to work as a group and interact with each other because of our Chicano studies class. Knowing what we did wrong in group projects in that class certainly made me change and understand what group studies really are and mean. Therefore, there wasn’t any problems as a group we communicated well and if a person couldn’t meet up we would let them know how they could contribute and certainly they did their part.

The Sierra Academy serves student with learning disabilities. They have variety of programs which include speech therapy, occupational therapy, small class sizes, counselling services, small group instruction/specialized programming. I was privileged to observe and interview Maria Gonzalez’s class for six hours. I had a good experience with the class and felt that I should share my story. Eighty percent of the class needs where mild to moderate. Although, I saw a couple of those who could function pretty well on their own with little or no supervision.

The purpose of this memo is to communicate expectations of all group members in order to complete the Informative Team Presentation assignment by the assigned due date. In short, all members should be expected to respond to all forms of communication, contribute equal amounts of effort, and complete tasks to the best of their abilities.

Moving on to communication and interaction patterns, I would have to give the group a very low rating for this. While our mission statement was to listen and cooperate with one another, cooperation was decent, but there was some issues with my group’s listening ears. I mentioned before how two of the group members had an issue with my reserved personality, and reacted to the difference in a rude manner. In the end, everything worked out, but during the process, interaction was fairly poor, and communication could have been more courteous and

For example, we all have similar communication styles. None of us has a confrontational style, so there were no altercations. Sasha was the most outgoing member of the group in general, and sometimes she had to actively encourage some of the other members to speak up if she could tell there was something bothering them or if they did not understand what they were supposed to do. Otherwise, we all felt comfortable enough to share our concerns. We did not pick a group leader so much, but Sasha sometimes took charge of the discussions we had. This gave us some kind of focus, but generally we had a democratic group and collaborated continually. We brainstormed together often, such as when we came up with the keywords for researching the databases.

I have reflected upon previous experiences within university; contrasting performing our first group presentation to a recent group presentation experience. I perceive a vast improvement however again there is still margin for improvement and gain in confidence.

At the beginning of the project, my group had difficulty of picking a topic. Since, my group member and I both had different topics that we would like to work on. At the end, we both agreed to work on cyberbullying because the subject is relevant and not often speak of until something happens as result of cyberbullying. We also worked together on all aspects of the project including writing and editing the prospectus, communicating with the school nurse and advisor, and making the poster and the bookmark. As we worked on the project, my struggles and weaknesses showed as well as my strengths. I had difficulty of speaking in front of big group and present the materials. However, my group member helped me to overcome that difficulty by practicing speaking and presenting

The PowerPoint was very informative and powerful. This topic is especially on point because of all the abused prescriptions and drug abuse that is current in the United States. You have a lot of facts about the spread of the epidemic that plagues our cultural and civilization. My feed showed a news story, 2 Year Old Watches Mother Overdose. This is very sad. This needs to be a topic of discussion in our society and I'm glad that you brought this to the class. I'm the Urinalysis Coordinator at my command and the key to the program is about getting people into rehabilitation not in trouble. Ultimately, yes they will be disciplined under the Uniform Code of Military Justice but if they ask for help instead of hiding their problem

My experience with my group could be considered a bit of a wild ride. At the beigining there was trouble contacting everyone and getting a messaging group formed. It’s understandable that not everyone could have seen the email right away, being busy college students and everything. As time went on and the deadline got closer eventually responded and stepped forward to see what they could help with on the project. Because I was a over worried that no one would respond at first, I had already done essays on cinematography and changing the theme of “Stagecoach” ahead of time, so everything was going smoothly. The last night before the project was due I was putting the finishing touches on my two word docs for the project when disaster struck.

In every session we shared our experiences, we created trust between us. For example, I know one of the members of the group since a couple semesters before. I had not talked much with her about anything personal just about school-related

Hopefully, we would get a wide point of view to the case. Happily, it was worked out. We collected the problems and everyone got certain problems to look for more information. I, myself, got to check out more for health insurance and law matters. Also, we had second meeting to discuss about the report and presentation. At the meeting, we decided to give one or two topics each. Everyone got the same chance to get the topics. Due to I got an introduction only, therefore, I had to help other pals. In addition, I offered myself to edit the report and hope for the others’ contribution as well. At the end of the meeting everyone was told to send their parts to me, and we would have an online meeting. Also, the part that we got at the day would be, automatically, his or her responsibility for the presentation. This was a very interesting and incredible group.

My feelings about the group process was a little mix at first but, at the end I felt like we actually brought it together. Beginning of the group member were all over the place and had no direction, when we were able to take a breather in just think ideas started to flow. I felt like that took the communicator to make it happen. By reinsuring the other group members that everything will go smoothly if we just don’t overthink everything.

Being involved in a group project was a challenge for me, due to the fact that we had some communication problems between our group members in the beginning. First of all, we started with a brainstorming, analysing the opportunities of companies around Hendon Central. More than this, we agreed on the same firm and started our work. Within a teamwork, there are some challenges that occur such as remaining focused on a direction, splitting equally the work and choosing a good leader. Bearing all this in mind, I might say that we did our best during the presentation and we coped with the minor communication issues. From this experience, I realized that I am a good leader and I can manage efficiently a project.

Overall, I am satisfied with how well my group worked together during the community assessment portion of the project. We did well because we were all committed to the project. Moreover, at almost all of our meetings and community visits, members showed up on time and prepared. Some parts of our assessment were more comprehensive then
