Criteria
The criteria that the group decided to uphold are as follows. All group members must:
· Do the work assigned to them by the group
· Show up to the agreed upon meetings
· Be accountable for their portion of the work
· Communicate any problems encountered with the group.
Individual Strengths
The specific strengths of the members of the group are:
· Rufus is highly sociable, often propelling the conversation in the group helping to
produce a very positive group atmosphere conductive to communication. For example,
when they first got together he kept the conversation going and made them feel at ease
by making them laugh.
· Betty Lou is a very strong technical writer. We sent her all the final drafts and we
received all the points for editing, so they owe that grade to her.
· Billy Bob acted partially as leader of the group, stepping up at group meetings and
helping guide the group process. Whenever we’d all sit around staring at our shoes, Billy
Bob would dig up the outline and ask us questions.
· Angelica acted partially as leader of the group, stepping up outside group meetings,
putting together all the individual work the group emailed him, creating the group
project.
· Spot was a large help when editing our projects as a group. He brought his laptop to
the meetings and typed everything up.
· Bingo, also helped edit all group work, and worked partially as a leader, helping
guide group discussion and editing.
Individual Weaknesses
Nevertheless, these weaknesses were:
· Rufus’s natural loquaciousness can get a bit out of hand some times, like the time he
jumped up on the table and started howling like a baboon.
· Betty Lou’s amiability translated into a moderate lack of assertion. For example, she
told Bingo one on one a couple of her ideas but never brought them up with the group.
· Billy Bob’s large workload, both through campus and through outside employment,
gave the impression that he was overly busy. He always showed up 20 minutes late for
every meeting.
· Angelica’s natural niceness and sociability kept him from taking a leadership
position. Perhaps this was because of his/her recent sex change, but it would have been
nice if he would have led the group at least once.
· Spot’s natural organization and ‘go-getting’ often had him take control of the project
without full group consultation. I think that if he toned it down a bit the shyer members
would have spoken up more. He also shot down others’ decent ideas more than once.
· Bingo own natural quietness at times prevented me from fully speaking my mind,
for fear of being abrupt and rude.
Numerical Summation Of Individual Contributions
· Rufus: 7/10
· Angelica: 8/10
· Spot: 9/10
· Myself: 7/10
Group Strengths
As a group they were highly successful in effectively breaking down all assignments into
even portions, as well as assigning portions to specific group members that played to
their strengths, thus making all group work easier. Specifically, the group strengths are:
· Lack of a single leader entity, at times causing lack of coordination among the
group
· Lack of a single consistent editor, at times leading the whole group to attempt
editing, which caused a disorganized editorial process.
Despite these few weaknesses, the group’s strengths managed to overcome via
individual hard work, a group amiability, and an effective work and communication
environment.
Summary
Despite what few weaknesses they had as a group and as individuals, they worked
effectively and efficiently, playing to the groups strengths to cover individual weaknesses.
In the future, few changes would and should be made. These changes will not drastically
affect the group, because all the hard work and individual responsibility helped the group
work almost to peak efficiency. The changes I would make are:
· A single group editor, designated at the beginning of the group, who edits the very
first draft as well as the last, which must be approved by the group
