Group Project Experience Towards the end of the course, we all were assigned groups and were asked to do various assignments with our designated group. I went through a problem because of which I don’t know how I behaved and went with my group members, so I will not make any comment on any of my group members or the kind of work they did. However, gradually we all developed a sense of understanding among ourselves for group work and all of us took certain typical tasks related to group work for ourselves like making slides for presentation, data collection from the net, analyses of data, making reports of project work etc. I took the task of developing the procedure to carryout project work and telling others how to proceed for project work. My job was to analyze and compile the data they use to collect and make final reports and presentations for the work.
We made A3 Plans of mind maps and all contributed different ideas of how to make the day memorable and effective for those who participated. The team objectives/goals: * Everyone to contribute a slide for the slideshow presentation * Everyone create at least one team work activity for every group * Set an affordable budget we could all agree on * Listen to everyone * Work out solutions as a team * Stay on track and organised By creating these objectives we were able to enforce and encourage each other on doing the best we can and helping each member make a difference also feel that they are contributing a substantial amount of ideas that were being considered or used in the outcome of the event. I feel that we could have on the day been more organised and relaxed and not have panicked when we felt that something wasn’t working. For instance, we had a problem with the sound on our video when we connected it to the overhead projector, some members of the team panicked and lost all
Planning: Good decision making seldom took place by chance. We fully discussed the decision making process and always took action as a team. 2. Performance: The need for individual high scores did not encourage team members to act in detriment of the team. Although each team member was assigned individual roles and tasks to accomplish, we all aimed for the shared goal first.
Assessment 2B: Analysis of collaborative work What factors do you think contributed to the level of success your group achieved? Provide specific examples from your experience to illustrate these factors The factors that contributed to the level of success of our group assessment, our presentation are having some team members who went above and beyond to find extra information to assist us as much as possible. They were able to find time to piece the presentation together using all the information the team constructed. By communicating what needed to be added and what was missing, the team members put their hands up to volunteer; By achieving this, the team benefited in a way that made the presentation work and allowed for ‘room for improvement’ through constantly asking for feedback and being open to suggestions. Through having team members who had a little more experience in University assessments gave us a bit more edge as some of us are doing this group assessment for the first time.
I took over role as leader for the project. It had been discussed since I was the “most organized” I would be the one to look over everyone. Since we were all friends and very close I decided to take a friendly approach to looking over everything. I used the individualized consideration leadership theory while working on this project. The reason this project is my number for all leadership situations is because everything that was planned was executed correctly.
But JROTC can also help with peer pressure. Leadership, it’s a quality we all know about and one that not many people possess. Being taught how to lead can really help you stand up too peer pressure. For example, ever since I have been in JROTC I feel that I don’t have to follow what my friends are doing even
Explain how the person-centred approach relates to you and your use of counselling skills? (200 words) The person-centred approach perfectly fits my individual beliefs of helping people to help themselves. Within my previous career I have always found helping staff to solve the problems themselves or as a team rather than telling or instructing them has always delivered sustainable results and a happy empowered team who can solve future problems themselves. When I set up my practice I will be fully focused to help my clients look within themselves to find out the root causes of their individual problems and support them to find the right solutions that works for them within their own life’s. It is my hope that through the learnt therapies I will be able to provide my clients with a greater understanding of their feelings and behavior and the help I can give them will hopefully lead to the client living a more fulfilled and meaningful life without the need for constant support.
The Things They Carried Throughout everyone’s lives they have a story that is worth telling, but not all people are willing to work at having it told. This is not necessarily a bad thing, it just does not allow us to see through the eyes of others. Fortunately, there are a select few willing to project their personal experiences to the world. Luckily, Tim O’Brien was brave enough to document his adventures into a biography. The Things They Carried is a biography following the themes of frontiers, dreams and goals, and the search for identity.
Learning Diary I always thought, I have a keen perception. I believe, I can read through the minds by just reading eyes, speech pattern and tone, body indications and more. I, also, perceived myself as a fair juror of situation, with the ability to judge my own act clearly and objectively even during the face of tense scenarios. Even when, I never have been slave to any prejudice, I had let my momentary fluttering thoughts to get better of me at times. Though, I have good control on my emotional displays, at times I find certain emotions sticking for a little time in my conscious memory.
It helped me realize that even the smallest things can make a huge difference in society. I am the type of person that is willing to listen to anything that others say and I know how to lead a group as a whole. When I work in a group with others, I devise methods of enjoyment and effectiveness while attempting to agree to ideas from others to encourage them to participate in an affective matter. Speaking of character when with others, I have always shown respect to teachers and kindness to the students around me. I have never refused a request for help in mathematics which is one of my favorite subjects.
