The first day the student created 4S activity was announced, our group talked about what subject the activity is going to be on and when we are going to meet up to do it together. We created a Groupme chat with our group and set up a time and place to meet up. However, no one responded to see if they are free or that what time is best for them, except for Joy, Zach, Tristen, and I. Due to the reason of only part of our group responding to the group cat, only three people ended up meeting together; Zach, Tristen, and I. The three of us finalized the topic, what activity will go with the topic, and how to split things up. We ended up focusing on finding quote sandwiches and I offered my own research paper about Model T that I wrote during junior year to find some quote sandwiches to add or change it for the activity. After that trio meeting, the next writing and creative inquiry class we had, we told the rest of our group what was going on, what we were doing at the moment, such as finding quote sandwiches in my paper to make them better or worse, and I shared the document with everyone. The next day, Tristen and I met up together, we chose 4 quote …show more content…
After the presentation was over, I felt that our presentation would’ve gone a lot smoother if everyone met up to shared and create the content, was well prepared and did a small rehearsal beforehand. Then maybe the presentation would flow better than it did. This presentation showed me that in the future, I should have a note card filled with questions ready to ask whenever it is needed and make the activities more engaging so that people can respond and interact more. Most importantly, I learned that group work has to be group work to make it fair so that everyone will be able to contribute and understand the

No, the person who sent the message didn’t mince words they meant most of what was said in the e-mail.
We made sure to stay onto of our work and were able to go back and help other group member who worked after us with their parts as well. Because we worked through Google Drive, we were able to all work on the project equally at the same time. We all logged in, created our slides, added our information and picture, and left comments for one another on there. Bhavik introduced me to a new meaning to the quote, ”I don’t want to see you—die—trying not to suffer,” which I was able to later use in my presentation (Baldwin 264). I set up a group text message so we were able to ask each other questions and stay connected at anytime. Our group also met up in the library the morning before presenting so we could discus how we would present to the class. Working in the group setting was very important because we were able to hear each other’s different interpretations of scenes we did not understand or scenes we analyzed
I have known how to use the firewall for a while but never have I taken the time to dive this deep into the settings of it. There was really a lot that you can do in the settings, more than one would think. Such as the inbound and outbound rules (I already knew of these ones) for example. There is really a lot you can do with a firewall.
Some members believed it was extremely important to cram as much information into the presentation as possible with the thought that it would give the listeners a greater appreciation for the memoir while other members that the presentation should focus more on the memoir itself. This was a challenge on an individual level because I wanted everyone to put in what they wanted, but I also wanted the presentation to fit within the time constraints given and not be too boring for the viewers. On a group level, this challenge put us back a day, which led us to have to scramble the night before we presented to have everything set. Overall, this challenge was dealt with maturely by all members of the group by means of constant communicating via our group text. Without having this group text, I do not think we would have been working as a group, but rather individuals working on specific aspects of a project without being mindful of others
Overall the process leading up to the speech was a great experience. Even though our group was close this speech was able to help us learn more about each other. This speech was able to help us understand each other and grow as a group. We learned how to work with each other and adjust work to fit everyone’s schedule. This was a great opportunity for us to show responsibility, teamwork, and leadership. We are satisfied with the grade we got on the speech because we put a lot of time into
It was difficult to organise a time when everyone was free to meet up outside of class to discuss the ongoing project. We managed to problem solve this issue by creating an online group where each member could ask questions, send through files and video chat without anyone else missing it. Because of similar reasons, my assigned task was slightly more stressful than I anticipated. The task of following up four busy people to get a final draft, checking and compiling the information from that draft and making sure there is no overlap was time consuming. In addition to this, the group needed enough time to learn the script before presenting, meaning that good planning and time management was necessary on my part. Overall, I felt that our presentation was successful. I made new friends in my field, expanded my planning and time management skills and gained new knowledge about Greek
Since it was drawing the end of the semester, I admit I had to inform my fellow group members that I would need a 24 hour extension to get things done in time. The other group members said that this was fine, but I would always be the first person to finish. It would take days for the other members of the group to get their work on time. I understand that this is a busy time for everyone, but I felt disappointed that they were not communicating with me until it was too late as to why nothing was being done. The day before presenting, we met up and made sure we all knew what was expected of us and talked about the project in general. Questions were answered, and it sounds like everything would be done later that night. However, while I think it will all be done by the time we present, I cannot be sure if the quality of the presentation will be as good as I personally would expect from a group of mine.
The first thing we did was all gather and make a PowerPoint to gather our information, and put the cites we were using for our information. I found the political cartoon and PSA for the group. We figured to do everything on our own then come back later to see where we were. Somewhere ahead and a couple were somewhere behind. Next we had to make a preview of our topic and what question our research related to. We had some problems because some people were gone and some did not do the there work. So I made the preview for our group and presented it to the class. The next day most of us had our worksheets done but one of us did not so we had to present with 3 instead of 4. I though I contributed to the group because I did my work on time.
While in nursing school my group was selected to do a presentation about the African American culture. I wanted to be the leader of the presentation. When we all got together I had everyone discuss what information needed to be gathered, what resources we would use, and how we would present it. I assigned my group members roles on what parts they had to do and encouraged them to help one another out if someone was unable to find any information about their section. Over the weeks I would make sure and send out emails that consisted of additional ideas the group had, information that could be useful for the presentation, and followed up with everyone. Before we were going to present I set up group meetings so that we could organize the presentation
My focus this week was my group power point presentation. This was the assignment me nervous because my presentation was going to be a reflection on my team members as well, so I felt more pressure to put an informative and clear power point presentation. This assignment made me realized that team work is essential. We depended on each other to present an informative presentation, and we are not able to do it if we don’t communicate among ourselves. I found this group presentation to be challenging because we all have different schedules, responsibilities and time zones, but I have learned that even if everyone has different responsibilities, it is important to communicate with each other.
To analyse the presentation and teamwork I need to be able to understand everyone has different experiences and different ways of working and had their own view on teamwork. My confidence grew as I got to know the team. Giving the presentation has helped me with my confidence, which I will need when I am working in the health care. I have also learned to speak up more and encourage others to take part when they where being quiet and not pulling their weight. It was good to do research using the appropriate methods, looking at journals and professional sites. I managed to hold it together during the presentation in front of everyone. I knew the presentation was not going to go as well has it could due to the lack of practice. The reason I was so nervous was
First of all, to be put in a group of individuals that I had never met or interacted with before was always going to be difficult. The process of getting to know them better and finding the strengths and weaknesses of each team member was hard at first but the more we worked on the presentation, the better we became at communicating and getting the
During week 9, we posted the articles we thought would be useful to our research, which helped us to get information together without face-to-face meetings. We did not use the online workplace to plan the presentation; we only used it to get an understanding of what the others’ focus was on the topic. After we finished our research, we met at the library to organize the presentation, power point, and plan each other’s section in the presentation. We got everything done in three hours and had some time left over to practice the presentation. I would have taken at least three days to get that amount of work done by myself. It is amazing how much can be accomplished when people work together. Working as a group was an exciting activity; we were able to recognize each other’s strengths, and help each other with our weaknesses. For example, I was better at making the power point, while someone else was much better at organizing information.
Being involved in a group project was a challenge for me, due to the fact that we had some communication problems between our group members in the beginning. First of all, we started with a brainstorming, analysing the opportunities of companies around Hendon Central. More than this, we agreed on the same firm and started our work. Within a teamwork, there are some challenges that occur such as remaining focused on a direction, splitting equally the work and choosing a good leader. Bearing all this in mind, I might say that we did our best during the presentation and we coped with the minor communication issues. From this experience, I realized that I am a good leader and I can manage efficiently a project.
