Class Group Reflection Paper

Improved Essays
Group In my class second semester I experienced being in a class group and we had to find information on the history of Ole Miss. This group had four people in it and each one of us had a part to do in this project. In this project we were assigned different years during the time Ole Miss was established until the present years today. We had to log our information and put together a presentation to do in front of our other peers. We came together like a task group and put together a great presentation. This group was more a formed class group that included a lot of research.
Communication/Interaction Pattern In our class group communication/interaction was a huge part for each of us without it we would have not got anything done. We would get into our groups and communicate so we would know if the project was coming along right. When interacting in our groups we discussed the new items that we had found to put in our reflection paper and in our presentation. The leader would start the discussion and the rest of us followed in behind her. If there is more than one leader in a group it would have become a

If we would have used our time more wisely and discussed the layout of the paper more the paper would have been better. If I would have been the leader I would have made sure everyone e-mailed there information before we left class. I think we spent more time on the presentation part of it instead of focusing more on the paper. I think this group was good compared others I have been in. I like working in groups but I have never lead a group. I have been put into other groups where my opinion did not even matter. I got so frustrated when that happened because I felt like I did not do anything for that project. I believe everyone has a voice and it should be heard. Everyone has different thoughts and ideas to be heard and this is a great dynamic that every group should

    During my sophomore year of high school, in my AP Psychology class, we were assigned an in-depth group research project that would take the whole year to complete. They were to be over either a psychological theory or a social experiment related to psychology. The whole project would entail predictions, pre-research, experiments, and a final APA style psychology research report. When I do projects I prefer to do something no one else has done yet so then it’s something new for the teacher, my classmates, and me.…

    The activity where communication was central to the process was the building a bridge activity. Communication was a vital role that really helped/hindered goal attainment during the activity. A brief overview of the building a bridge activity is that as a group, we would use communication to help us build similar halves of a bridge once we divide into two groups within our original group, that are separated by a tarp. Communication helped us achieve the goal of having a similar bridge halves even though there was the obstacle of only being allowed to ask 3 questions to our other group during the building process. The first struggle within my group was that we were all talking over each other to get our opinions across which we quickly discovered…

    The research project was an assignment I did not enjoy. I felt like the assignment was a little rushed, and that the class was not given enough time to meet with other group members. Not having enough time to do an assignment is one of my biggest pet peeves. I think we should have had class, instead of group conferences. The group conference was a one hour conference with the group and the professor.…

    For me the activity of working as a group especially with other individuals who I have not worked with or talked to before was a good learning experience that had both positive and negative outcomes using Driscoll’s model of reflection as a frame work to elaborate on how I interpreted what happened, what impact the situation had on me and what I will do in the future if presented with a similar situation (Driscoll and Teh, 2001). We were required to do a 10 minute presentation for a health promotion project that we developed. I decided to work with other individuals who I didn’t know and have not worked with before as I believed I would be more productive and respectful if I worked with people I didn’t know very well. For the first tutorial…

    We formed the group of four people promptly and waited for the topic to be assigned. The topic was assigned in week 9, while in other courses we knew all our topics for group assignments from week 3. Not only the topic for group project was assigned late, but I never had a chance to see the marking rubric and, therefore, to know the instructor’s expectations about my work. Despite the tight deadlines, our group equally divided the workload among four people and started to research the literature about the topic.…

    Socially group work is often praised. With phrases like “two heads are better than one”, team work seems like the most logical choice for a project. This has not been my experience at Florida State University. When faced with the prospect of another involuntary group project I imagined many possibilities and outcomes. None of which reflect my actual experience with the research I conducted, the way the information was formatted, or my experience with Group 3.…

    During class on Wednesday, January 26, the students participated in a psychological game called prisoner’s dilemma. My group didn’t accumulate enough points throughout the game, so we were not able to receive full classwork credit. However the game and working in a group did share some of the same qualities, but are also different. Due to prisoner’s dilemma, I learned that when it comes to working in a group it takes communication, trust, and a sense of responsibility. Communication is key to the game and cooperation with others because it determines the course of the relationship.…

    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. After I got to know my group members I felt more comfortable with them. My friends tell me how their groups are and I feel really lucky to have this group because we did good overall. 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…

    You could say we went through the “forming” and “storming” stages of group work that semester. Second semester, after we had an opportunity to analyze each other’s strengths, we were able to work much more efficiently. We evolved into a united group with common goals, and this evolution is reflected in the deliverables we created in 732 to 752. We learned a lot about the questions to ask when designating roles on a project and paying attention to identify these strengths. We also learned about our own strengths in the process.…

    At the start of the project, I created a Google Doc for the project outline and wrote the topic headers for it. In terms of outside research, I was the one who researched, found, and contacted Professor Susan Epstein from Hunter College to speak. This turned into a tedious process that resulted in about 20 emails being sent back and forth between her and I. Despite the difficulties I had in getting definitive answers from her, I was fortunately able to get her to come in to speak. Additionally, I was the one who created the Google Slides document, which the other members and I would populate with our slides. I also organized the Sunday meeting at Baruch and booked our study room in the library.…

    Reflection Paper II Throughout my college experience here in the Carroll School of Management, group work and the ability to work well with others has been emphasized greatly. This makes sense, because in a professional environment, the ability to communicate, listen and contribute within a group leads to success and the achievement of goals. However, none have gone on as long as this project, making it a more realistic example of working on a team. Junior year of college is definitely a crazy time, as we are forced to balance heavy workloads with extracurriculars and recruiting.…

    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…
