The Importance Of Following The Rules Of Group Work

I believe that I have been following the rules outlined in our group learning agreement at the start of our group above the standards that were set in the agreement. For instance, I let anyone in our that has an idea speak before I do and know not to interrupt them when they are speaking their mind about the idea or opinion about about a topic. Also, If there are people working on an in-class assignment, I always if I there is any way I could help in any way to complete the work faster for our group assignments. I also make sure to keep away any distractions from myself during class, such as my cellphone, to not detract from my work, for my group, to make sure my work is not lacking in any way. There’s always ways that I can improve myself to make the group better overall. However, I feel that I should include other people in the group work. For example, Tully, Arthur, and I were working on the web page a few weeks ago, and Lauryn were not contributing to the web page and giving their opinions or creative ideas for the income inequality web page. I should have asked if they wanted to provide any details or information for the construction of the website page. Additionally, I think that I should be more vocal and bring more of a leadership presence to the group. Overall as a group, I sense that we need a great deal of improvement to become a cooperative group. At this time of the semester, I feel we are not much of a group, but rather people who are coming together in a way that is not much of collaboration, but just trying to get the work completed on time or as fast as possible, without really giving group assignments thought or discussion.

It made it difficult that we could not reach him until a few days ago for getting access to his web page. Although, when Arthur has shown up to class, he is great to work with because of ideas and is able to work efficiently and has leadership qualities. Lauryn Lucca- D- …show more content…
Sometimes, Tully can get fustrated with technology, but he works hard on everything, so that is a small setback in the group.
Axel Sanchez- C Axel is a good group member, he always shows up on time to class, however he does not provide much of his thoughts or opinions to the group when we are completing a work for this course.He will complete his assignments, though they are not always the best work. Plus, he will contribute minutely to when we are working on an assignment for this class.
Daniel Cronk- A- I believe I work hard in this for my group and bring something different to the group with regards to always having a level head and not getting frustrated when a task for the class is complicated. Also, I think about the big picture when we are working on assignments and also bring up contrasting ideas to what we are working on so we can have a more complete assignment and not just a one-side for our public policy issue of income
