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…
For our group project, I was teamed up with Jordin, Jon, and Levi. I thought our group worked well together, we met when we coordinated to meet and accomplished what we needed to. We had to work fast and efficiently, since we had not met before the break. Everything was evenly divided up and then we started to do our parts individually. We all did our parts that we were assigned to do, and I think we did a good job of coordinating them together. We each created our own PowerPoint slide and wrote…

There are four executive officers as the top tier of their organization with a support staff of corporate senior management. The company is then broken down into geographic regions of management. There is a branch of management for the United State, Canada, the United kingdom, and Europe. Each branch focuses on distribution for their designated…
Overall, I am very satisfied with my group members; each of us has contributed many efforts on the projects assigned with different talent. With the aspect of the Final Deliverables project, Jiyeon showed her excellent formatting skills when she combined our works to a complete report. In addition, Jiyeon designed the cover page and made the background of the report be consistent with the style of the cover page. After reading the feedback of the proposal, our group decided to adjust our Final…
way I normally do things as like I said in the last journal, English is not usually a group project class. I have greatly improved my communication with the team which is the key to success when in a group. Even though we have done previous projects with each other, there is always room for improvement in communication which I think we have all worked well to get better at. Some difficulties that we as a group have faced would be mainly finding a day in common with each other, and the person we…
This group was a small discussion group facilitated by Ellen and myself. The purpose of this task group was to get opinions from the members about our topic. We carefully planned the structure for the group discussion by creating a nonthreatening environment, which allowed the members to feel free to talk openly and give their opinions. We encouraged the participants to engage in the conversation with the other members and facilitators. I felt we were structured and directed but also allowed…
Pre-Lab Questions 1. What are the steps of the scientific method? Briefly explain each. • The steps of the scientific method are observation, define problem, construct a hypothesis, test the experiment/ gather evidence, and draw a conclusion. Observation is the procedure of collecting information about events and processes carefully. It involves with seeing and hearing. Defining the problem is when you identify a conflict that requires a solution to be solved. A hypothesis is a proposed…
was easy and smooth. Moreover, we did not have any problem about the times and dates for our meetings. The requirement for this group project that we had to meet three times before the due date. That was not a big deal for us. The schedules for our meetings were on Wednesday night and Thursday night around seven pm. We decided to meet at library because library has the group study rooms. At there, we could talk and discuss about our project. On the first meeting, everyone came on time. We…
Team/Project Structure It was an interesting learning experience completing the group research project. I was fortunate enough to choose my own group. My group (Trisha Grahmann, Amanda Rodriguez, Crystal Powell, and Danielle Pardo) chose the topic of “First Impressions”; initially, this topic was the main reason why I chose to be in their group. The secondary reason was that the group members appeared to be very intellectual and insightful. Individually, we were able to choose a specific…
Throughout this whole group work, I think the best approached that worked well with our group was assigning everyone their own parts of the assignment. I think this is a good approach because if someone does not get it done than we know who to blame that part on rather than everyone doing it together and you have no clue who did what. We have had no issues on people fighting over the parts they get. If they had an issue than they should show up to the meetings to address the issue rather than…
