My group is called The Mix and my fellow group members are: Tatiana Hurtado, Laura Espinoza, Kenneth Mous, Anthony Porter, and Jose Gonzalez. For our cultural experience project, my group meet five times through the span of two months. Throughout these various group meetings we all contributed our ideas and energy in order to successfully complete our project, but some more than others.
We agreed to choose Laos culture to base our project on because Tatiana’s boyfriend was Laos, which gave us easier access to learn about Laos culture. Tatiana also knew of an event we could attend as well. So thanks to her, choosing a culture and attending a cultural event was easier than expected.
Our first meeting where we discussed our project was held …show more content…
Everyone was present at that meeting except for Jose. Before the meeting had started we were having trouble with Kenneth. In the morning, Anthony sent us a screenshot of his and Kenneth’s private conversation on Facebook where Kenneth was upset about us not going to an event with him. During a meeting with the professor after class we had somewhat agreed to attend another cultural event with Kenneth to make up for the one he missed, but since Kenneth was not able to provide a steady date and event as the deadline was fast approaching, we decided we could no longer attend an event with him. In the messaged Kenneth had wrote to Anthony “Y’all [our group] are stupid I’ll make sure you get a zero too in that case.” So not only did he insult the entire group but he also threatened Anthony by telling him that he would make sure that he would receive a zero for a grade. Our group was very upset about his behavior and we decided that we would try to sort it out during this meeting. When Kenneth arrived Anthony addressed the problem and Kenneth was quick to apologize for his behavior and told the group he was no longer upset. We decided to accept his apology and move on with our work. During this meeting Laura had given us all of our shirts to wear for our presentation. Tatiana also confirmed with us on what food she was going to be bringing for the project. We all gave both Tatiana and Laura $5 each for …show more content…
I give Tatiana Hurtado a score of 10 based on her personal effort that she provides for the group. For every meeting she attends she always contributes by providing her own input and if it weren’t for her, finding a culture to study would have been more difficult. I give Laura Espinoza a score of 10 based on her personal efforts as well. She went out of her way to make us all T-shirts, which I think is very creative and thoughtful. She is also very fun to dance with. I give Kenneth Mous a score of 3 based on his rude behavior and lack of effort. He has caused the group unneeded problems and has set us back. Although during the few times he did show up to meetings he contributed, it still does not anywhere near make up for his overall unsatisfactory effort for this project. I give Anthony Porter a 10 because he outstanding efforts have truly guided us for this project. I can really tell he cares about this project and wants to make sure we all succeed as a group. He always shows up to every meeting early and is always prepared to accomplish any tasks for the day. I give Jose Gonzalez a 10 as well
