During the entire class discussion, I would categorize myself to be Avoidance. At the being, I was thinking of participating in the discussion, but I found that there were so many people try really hard to get their ideas out. I found it hard to get my point of view across. Slowly, I became a listener; I want to hear what everyone thinks. As time passed by, there were couple good ideas came out, but wasn’t the ideal answer which can satisfy everyone. At this point, our very low influence Leader came out again, and then we finalized everything according the each category. I feel satisfy for the final result even though I didn’t do any participation.
The only thing I think that we can improve is time management, but I also believed the great ideas always came out last. Professor gave us total of around 35 minutes to finish this task. I think we should use two minutes to think about what we really looking for in each category. And then, we can use twenty minutes to gather all the information from all the classmates. We still have thirteen minutes left, so we can use eight minutes to finalize the whole results and two minutes to do the first voting. That left us with three minutes which we might need for other adjustment in case the first vote didn’t go through for the whole class.
I didnt think about the time management issue. This is very true though. We should of use a little of that time to seat back and brainstrom among ourselves and then come back together as a class. I think this would of have avoided chaos and bad use of time. At the end, I was glad we all came to accordance and were for the most part satisfied.
