The Process Of Our Big Project We Didn 't Have Any Problems

Our group worked on all the components of the project together, which included the research, reference pages, scripts, and the PowerPoint. I believe our decision to not assign specific tasks to a single individual allowed us to fully understand all the information and get along better due to the fact we all were doing the same amount of work. In a group setting, we had to work together and communicate with one another in order to create a suitable presentation. One thing I saw that our group thrived at was listening to one another. Our book defines listening as the “active, complex process that consists of being mindful, physically receiving messages, selecting and organizing messages, interpreting messages, responding, and remembering (Wood, 2016).” Each group member had to

The relational Role I played in this group was being the encourager and supporter. Although everyone had their own opinions about the idea’s

First of all, to be put in a group of individuals that I had never met or interacted with before was always going to be difficult. The process of getting to know them better and finding the strengths and weaknesses of each team member was hard at first but the more we worked on the presentation, the better we became at communicating and getting the

On our next meeting, I realised that some of the group members were unable to turn up for one reason or the other. Even though some of us were able to gather information, there were still much expected from us as a group. There were misunderstanding among us in that we put blame on each other. This made me realise that partnership working cannot be successful without collaboration, effective communication, good interaction and cooperation among the various individuals

For our project on animation I was in charge of the motion graphics subheading for all of the four assignments. The rest of the information such as introduction, conclusion, engagement etc. was split evenly among the five of us so we can all contribute fairly. I helped with the mind mapping part of the project since my other team members never used a mind mapping site or application before. I was glad to be able to guide them

Overall if I reflect back on our group work I believe we worked very well as a team and my contribution to the group was significantly high because I had an aim in my mind which I focused on until the end. As I worked the extra mile for our project, it resulted that it gave us, as a team, a bit more time in preparation for our presentation and finalizing the app which was crucial at that time for us.

My role in the project was make sure all our ideas followed within the guidelines of the instructions.  I would occasionally throw an idea out to my peers, but with an introverted group I usually wouldn't get much feedback.  As the project came to expiration I learned that even though sometimes being in a group makes the work load lighter it can also occasionally make the work harder since it's more difficult to mold multiple individuals preconceptions into one

5. In my group I felt that I contributed by providing different initial ideas. I would think of something and pitch it out to the group. Some of my ideas were good, and others were bad. Michele was very helpful in critiquing my design ideas. For example she would say, if you added this here, it would be even stronger. Catherine was able to contribute by writing very specific instructions. Her instructions were clear enough for Cormac and me to build the design again from the beginning. Cormac was helpful in putting all of our ideas together. He was very good at constructing what we drew

I was able to contribute ideas more than twice, and I was allowed to talk and didn’t feel overpowered. When I did contribute an idea, I said a topic and then explained why it would fit into our umbrella topic of Senior Year Support. I wanted to make sure that I was not just throwing out random ideas that would be interesting to talk about in group, I wanted them to be meaningful for us as senior year students. The ways I participated were when I offered topics that included, BSW jobs and different master’s degrees. Those two topics I have passion about and want to lead a group on. I felt my ideas were valued and cared for by my peers. My peers seemed to have interest and were excited to learn and grow while going through this support group

(Gorman, 1998). I feel as a group with different knowledge of the topic we worked well together after we overcame the issue of picking a topic. It felt a little awkward at first in the storming stages, but as every meeting passed it got better and we learned to work as a team. Everyone had a role and we all understood each other’s roles and what we needed to do to produce the final presentation. When the person before me was going though their part I was thinking I can’t do this and was starting to shake. I thought we did well to present out topic to our peers and we received good feedback from the lecturer. I was very pleased that I did a good job presenting even though I was nervous.

Our fist discussion was regarding the video “Planning a Playground”. The group in this video was discussing planning for a playground, what it would cost to put it up and how they could raise the money. I liked how this group communicated effectively an overall worked together. I picked up on some nervousness but that was mainly because they were meeting for the first time. The only issue that I could see off top was at some points some of the members would cut off the member that was speaking. I don’t feel that it was intentional or malicious but to communicate effectively you need to let others speak until their done so that you completely understand what is being said. In most cases this is how things are misunderstood because you only take from the part you hear or stopped them from saying. I identified constructive conflict occurring in this group. Constructive conflict is when behaviors help to build relationships, when you are able to manage your emotions and accept and resolve responses. It’s when you have task-completion,

In the meeting we spent a majority of the time working on the different questions we would have to ask and how we wanted to go forward with our project for presentation day. There was personal responsibility. Everyone had tasks assigned to them and what would be required to get the project done. It wasn’t forced, we decided on what topics we wanted to focus on collectively. Once we knew our roles and requirements, it was easier because then we had a partnership. There was a promised task and a commitment to the goal. Tasks would need to be completed in order to finish the project successful and be prepared for the presentation.

Our group worked well together because everybody helped each other. First two time that we met we not to be familiar with others, our mind were not open anymore. In the meeting, we shared with ideas and thought thoroughly on every offered idea before making a decision. If there were any mistakes helped each other to correct it. We had meetings every week and we started knowing each other better. We had discussed about our work, how it’s going and going in the right way or not. Then we had a chance to ask each others. We did everything step by step. Finally everything was done on time which subsequented to reach our main goal.

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.

We mainly did so by first discussing what we were each going to be discussing in our segment of the presentation and made sure that each of our segments directly related to the topic. After our discussion we began to formulate slides for each of our segments taking information and research from our papers and putting it into a bulleted form that would be easy to read on each slide. We also made sure to include images to keep our presentation interesting and captivating while also getting our point across. After we had finished our presentation and were satisfied with the information we checked it over for formatting mistakes as well as grammatical errors. Then on the morning before our presentation we ran through our presentation multiple times sorting out and issues that could make the presentation seem poor. We then delivered our presentation and completed the entirety Task
