My personal journey throughout Group Dynamics, and why it’s important. I was actually pleasantly surprised. There are many things that I expected and did not expect when starting this course. Because it was not just I, who was taking the skills and qualities with me. My team members and classmates who got to enjoy this course with me. also learned these skills and traits and how to better themselves. So that in the future, we are all more suited. We are all more experienced and have a strong comprehension of what's expected of us. So that we can apply it to our given engineering course, or future employment.
In the beginning, I had no implication of what to expect. The first day I showed up to a large lecture hall. I didn’t know anyone, and …show more content…
So when I began this course, it was refreshing to see attention given to each student. Especially when I was first introduced to my group members. It seemed that the instructors wanted to incorporate inclusion and acceptance as much as possible. With this, it was easier for me to understand just why the course was set up the way it was. Comprehending to operate efficiently, everything seemed to fall into place.
My group members had common interpersonal linkage power. This caused a lessening of tension and more ability to focus on the topics at hand. It made working as a group a lot more enjoyable because of that. In term one, we started with the forming and storming stages of a group. (Harris, T. E.

(2012) pg 64). to manage conflicts. By doing this, it allowed us to learn important skills needed for problem-solving. It further increases our ability to function in a group.
This goes hand in hand with that I believed I was going to gain from being a part of this course. In the beginning, I thought we were going to learn about the psychology of a group. How it relates to psychology-physiology and sociology. I was gladly mistaken. What I thought I was going to get out of this course was the insights into the minds of those within a group. How to categorize them, organize them and study. In my opinion, my skill set would have encouraged and help me through a course like that. In my opinion, I am good at analyzing issues and trying to come up with a game plan. I have a great skill for listening. For being respectful of others individuality, opinions, and experiences. I didn’t expect to learn how better myself as a team member
