Why A Group Test Is Difficult

Decent Essays
Today I took a test that was truly an interesting experience. This test was a group test we took in college lit. This test was difficult yet easy, and full of different opinions. The first reason why it was difficult yet easy was because it was a group activity. It was difficult having to deal with everyone being so loud and fighting with each other but easy she uses everyone got to work together. Another reason why this test was difficult because if you were not loud you would not get to participate because everyone will talk over you. There was multiple dirty looks being given throughout the room when someone said the wrong answer. I think that I would have liked this activity more if it were smaller groups and not just one large group.

There was a total of seven people including me at the beginning of the meeting. The leader introduced me as a student to the rest of the individuals in the meeting. The group while quiet at first welcomed me as part of the group.…

    Standardized “... tests have tended to lean heavily on easily scorable multiple-choice questions that stress memory rather than understanding” (Jehlen, 1). So, when a child or teen takes these tests it does not matter if they understand what they’re doing, just as long as they got the right answer. This is completely unacceptable, they need to be tested over their understanding of a…

    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…

    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…

    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.…

    War is not easy on anyone; it causes too many psychological and physical problems. Reading this article about the nurse’s experiences in the Vietnam War did change my perspective of nursing. My respect level of past nurses has increase tremendously. The reason why is because they did not have the technology or the education that we have now. How they overcame the many challenges that they had to face, still amaze me.…

    What I learned from these paired reading and what I will be taking from it is to not wait to show compassion to others. The paired reading showed that if you don’t wait on showing compassion then you can change someone’s entire life with just one gesture. Maybe it is that one gesture that I could do that could impact someone else positively. If there were ever a time in which I was put in such a situation then I would be compassionate because maybe they are going through something similar to the story. Someone could be going through something that I know nothing about and if I could prevent something by just being kind, I will.…

    Participating in the Problem Mapping Dialogue project gave me new insight into how groups function. I believe this experience will serve me well as I go through my college career and work on various group assignments. My group for this project excelled in some areas but faced some obstacles in other aspects of the assignment. This activity provided us with solid feedback about what parts of group work we do well and what we need to improve for the future. One strength that I observed among my group members was that we seemed to have the ability to piggyback off each other’s comments.…

    When the group and I looked at excessive testing, we wanted to resolve the issue, not just by ending testing period, but as we did more research, we came to note that the students needed effective testing with real time results. We decided to make a lesson plan for if we were to ever be in a meeting with congress that we would discuss excessive testing and bring the facts as well as experience to the discussion an effective plan of action to get testing under control. The only way that excessive testing can be truly resolve is by teachers and local school districts controlling the testing in the classroom. When it comes to excessive testing and voicing our opinion to Congress I feel that unless they truly listen then my voice is not…

    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…
