Group Assignment Analysis

Decent Essays
Whenever a group assignment is assigned, I always feel like I’m leading the group. I usually never like being a leader in school related group project because I feel like it is my responsible to make sure the group does ok. During the campus resources presentation, I had to lead the group since I didn’t see anyone in my group take inattentive. The group consisted of 2 other male members, and really it was my first time meeting with them. No one really knew which part of the campus we were supposed to research until I asked for clarification. Luckily, we had each other phones numbers before heading toward our classes, and I sent out which part of the school we were going to examine to find general math help. I started looking for places and

    I feel as if the group project could have been done a lot better I felt as there was more of a focus on getting to know one another rather than focusing on the assessment. Currently I am not as confident on working with individuals that I don’t know so well as I was when we first started as I realized not everyone in the group had the same approach towards the task as I did especially in terms of prioritization despite this I believe I am more confident in showing leadership as Staci and Emily had other commitments I attempted to accommodate for this by contacting them and working out times when they were both free I believe this was a positive thing as normally in group assessments I have a tendency to rely on other people to make decisions like this and it was a positive experience delegating rather than receiving tasks. Overall working with Staci and Emily was fine as I have a more passive personality in group assignments it was a good learning experience for me a study has also shown that working as group positively influences and facilitates an exchange of knowledge(Shaw, Mitchell and Del Fabbro, 2015) this definitely occurred during our group work when it came to elaborating on social determinants I was able to help both Staci and Emily better understand them while Staci assisted me in learning about the stream factors overall I believe we compensated very well for each other’s gaps of knowledge . On the other side of the spectrum our fourth member Louis was difficult to work with as he contacted us the weekend before the assignment was actually ready to present and this caused a lot of stress and panic, after talking to Emily and Staci they definitely felt the same way about the situation with…

    Every day of junior year I woke up and dreaded the second I had to step into Mrs. Monroy’s Spanish class. She was the strict, no nonsense kind of teacher and she was cruel and cold-hearted when it came to grading. It only took half of a semester for my grade to start falling below a B. This caused for some “talks” with my parents and for growth, a term that that they heavily emphasized in those “talks”, to come to the forefront of my mind. When I think of growth, I do not just think of growing from eating too much ice cream, but also growing in ways like learning to play a new sport or, in this case, learning a new language. Trying to learn anything in Spanish seemed impossible, it has always been my worst subject and it also did not help that I had zero friends in the class and the best seat to take naps in.…

    The main strength I possessed throughout the process of this assignment was having a lite class schedule this semester. Since I only had a maximum of two classes each day it provided a vast amount of time to work on this assignment. My second strength was that I preserved all previous notes and assignments from earlier social work classes. The notes and assignments provided guidelines, in which I could follow to complete this assignment. My biggest weakness I possessed during this assignment was the lack of motivation.…

    Most of the times people have to talk to me first in other for me to talk. I need to improve my communication skills because I am not going to go anywhere if I don 't speak up.

For the first presentation, as a group, we were discussing the topic for our presentation; Everything went well we all gave ideas, and we all agree to do what we chose.…

    Throughout the year, as a class we have been given many different challenges in either the form of an essay, speech, or group presentation. The final assignment given to us was a group project presentation. From growing up in an age filled with technology, I have come to love projects that revolve around making some form of a PowerPoint presentation. This PowerPoint though, was both difficult and interesting for the reasons of being assigned group members not of my own choosing, learning to listen to others ideas which can help me to learn something new, and using former knowledge while working together to create a clean, in depth, and well prepared presentation. With working in groups of students whom I have known since I was young but…

    We were going to be working together and we know about each other, we conducted that working on a group project together can provide advantages for each team member and learn new skills. Each one of us had a different job to do during our class assignments such as collecting data from the web, making interviews with people and preparing our reports and presentations. I was trying to take a more active role in our presentations, in exchange for taking a less active role in the idea formatting and report stages. We were trying to assign each one of us because of the variation skills of my group members that could be applied in many parts of the project depending on the area that they are…

    Introduction In this reflection, I will focus on some important topics such as, what I learned about individual and business taxation from this course, what was my experience with the group project and what were the challenges that I faced during both the group project and this course. I am also going to add some main overall points that I learned. Tax is generally an amount of money that is charged by a government on a product, income, or activity so that it can pay for public services. In addition, there are several very common types of taxes: • Income Tax (a percentage of individual or corporate earnings filed to the government) • Sales Tax (taxes charged on certain goods and services) • Property Tax (taxes charged on the value of land…
