Mount Everest Simulation Reflection

Throughout the course of group interaction we have been assigned two simulations: the Mount Everest mid-term project and the “Judgment in Crisis” simulation. Each simulation was completed in our specific groups; my group consisted of Megan, Naomi, Tate, Natalie, and Darcy. In each of the simulations we worked well as a team, and also had some downfalls; however, we overcame the problems that arose in our group as well as the simulations in which we had to do. In the beginning of the Mt. Everest Simulation we struggled as a team, due to the fact that we all had different information, and we needed to communicate to exchange information in regards to the simulation. However, once we discovered this we immediately changed our approach and worked as a group. Through this downfall of the first simulation …show more content…
In the first simulation we had technological issues in the beginning, which frustrated our group and created a tension in the beginning, which then turned into a stronger group bond, and connection. This was the moment in which our group actually became a team. We used this set back to our advantage. Although we had some set backs we technology we still had positive incidents with it. An example being that in the first simulation reflection video we had to face time one of our group members due to the fact that she was at a funeral. This worked to our benefit by having all group members present for the video.
Personally I think that during the simulations we worked well as a team due to the fact that we all worked as one and split up the work. The simulations would have bombarded one with a ton of information; even doing the second simulation I was overwhelmed with information. I could not even begin to imagine having five-group members information in one simulation that would be due in such little time. However, I could see how it would be easier to do individually if your team did not work well
