Group of Seven

Throughout the last year, the Director has made a point to change many processes, for worse or for better. The majority of her effort has been focused on how the office functions as a group or “team.” Two influential factors on how our group functions is the fact that the entire team is female in gender and group decision making. There is a particular instance where the team was gathered and was expected to participate in a meeting about streamlining processes in consultative phone calls. This…

We dared not turn back as we scrambled into the labyrinth of the evergreen forest. Christopher, Eliza, Francis, Gracelle, Hassan, Oliver, and I had all met that morning in a deteriorating abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Paris, France. There, we were informed of the valuable information implanted into our brains at birth by a mysterious, dismembered secret organization called NanoTech. Hence the reason why these military experienced robots keep trailing us wherever we go. Before leaving…

Architectural elements harmonize and organize architecture. Without order confusion can set in, using architecture elements and principles there will be order and harmony. An architect uses these methods to create an emotional and balanced design. Case studies chosen to analyze are Howard House in West Pennant, Nova Scotia designed by Brian MacKay-Lyons, second chosen was the B2 House in Ayvacik, Turkey by Han Tumertekin. Both buildings have elements and principles of architecture that will we…

Understanding of multiplication facts is essential to have down by fourth grade. Knowing the times tables and being able to fluently recall immediately is needed throughout the entire year because of PA Mathematics Standards beginning with multiplication of multidigit numbers. There were students in my fourth grade classroom that had yet to be fluent with their multiplication facts, and it was necessary for them to have it down, for everyday mathematics and for the PSSA’s. I discussed with my…

everything going on I forgot that still, no one said a word. The only people speaking were the people already in the OA. That morning, we were all separated into groups, and we were all assigned jobs. I didn’t know much about the jobs other groups were assigned, but mine was assigned to trail work. Within no time, we were off to work on our tasks. My group started off on one of the trails. Whenever we saw brush creeping into the trail, it was our job to remove it. It started off fairly easy. The…

Daily we are introduced to situations where the ability to mentally rotate an object or an image comes to good use. For example, imagine you are playing a game of Tetris. As the object is rapidly moving down your computer screen you have to mentally rotate it in order to see where the piece would fit best. In another scenario, imagine you are given a map to find directions around a city. After you locate yourself on the map, you next have to mentally rotate the map or yourself to decide which…

They have public and contract warehousing options to meet the need of their different customers. They also provide the shipping services. First of all, they have good hardware facilities. They have good vehicle and good warehouse. They have shuttle and good truck to move their inventories. Their truck and warehouse…

I ended up having more B-mode statements than any other mode. The book says that, “[t]hose with more B-mode responses base their self-concept on group membership and institutional roles” (pg.136). It also says that if you give yourself more B-mode statements, then it is possible that C-mode is dominant while in the classroom. “C-mode responses see themselves as more independent and define themselves according to their individual actions and emotions rather than connections to others” (pg.136).…

important part of any success group progress and so we chose to include that in the assessment of our group and its processes over the quarter. We chose to focus on four of the group assignments for everyone to give their input on: Module 1 Individual Application Activity: Forming a Course Group, Identity Project Medium Approval and Draft Outline, Module 4 Group Application Activity: Group Process Discussion Activity, and Module 5 Group Application Activity: Analyzing Group Culture: The Guild. …

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. Through the pamphlet project, I have…
