Bloomsbury Group

In our group presentation, there were areas where are presentation excelled and areas where our presentation could have been improved. Our transitions from one topic to the next lacked fluidity across the board. I struggled with reading the evidence I was using to support my claim which distracted me and the audience. Otherwise, the group was able to smooth talk about their topics without much issue. If we had practiced the speech once or twice, transitions between topics would have been more…

on our group presentation and the work that led up to it. I will cover how are rules and norms contributed to how the group functioned. How the different roles we took contributed or took away from our group success. Just how far using your decision making and leaderships skills can take you within your group environments. I will also talk about how our group was effective what made it so, and what I learned from this experience. Finally, I will address just how cohesive we were as a group and…

For this Artifact Creation Task, my group consisted of Martina, Tesha and Sara, sitting beside one another; we decided to form a group. After we were briefed on this task, it was extremely necessary for us to have a way that we could communicate with each other effectively and efficiently. After discovering each of us had a Facebook account, it was unanimous that a Facebook group chat was the best way to go. Throughout the task, the Facebook chat was significant in connecting us together…

about ways to behave" (Muskat, Winter 2016). Our group norms were to exercise confidentiality; to follow the order of participation, where the leaders spoke during the task group meetings unless someone else was assigned to do so; and to be respectful of other members in the group by remaining professional throughout the session. In following the order of participation; we had to keep in mind that, “whenever people are together in face-to-face groups, they are communicating. Even if they are not…

that the Inner Ring can be good and bad. The Inner Ring is what people strive for. They want to be inside so they are not outside, but once inside they are still not happy. Friendship is the key to any Inner Ring. Without friendship people are just a group wanting the same thing with no relationship with one another. I agree with Lewis on his account of the Inner Ring because I think that while we want to be inside, it will not get us anywhere better in life. Lewis talked about how once you get…

addresses those impediments that can prevent a group of people from working effectively and efficiently together towards a goal. My experience as a member of a Cornerstone formation team last year exemplifies how those obstacles make team work almost impossible and definitely unpleasant. I will summarize that experience and evaluate it in terms of the five dysfunctions explained in the book, ending with my assessment and recommendation on how our group could have overcome the dysfunctions we…

This design was perfect for this study because the effect of different treatments were being tested on different groups. There were advantages and disadvantages to this experimental design. One of the main disadvantages was that there were certain differences among the participants and groups. Genetic differences and different lifestyles could exist among participants. Also, the different factors that caused MDD in the participants could also have an…

action plan for the future. Also, Tuckman’s group theory and Belbin’s team roles can be incorporated. ((Kolb’s Learning Cycle) n.d.) Within this reflection, I shall also be relating Tuckman’s group theory to the experience. Tuckman’s group theory describes five development stages which are presented within a period of team work; forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning. ((Team Development Stages) n.d.) According to Tuckman, a group has not functioned and worked…

next day. I have to say those jeans cannot compare with my sweatpants in terms of comfortable, but they gave me a feeling that I am not an outsider anymore. I changed my behavior just to belonging to the new group that I tried to fit in to. We can see from my story that the desire for group membership can make people change their behavior. The change is caused by peer pressure, a desire to fill psychological…
