Group Reflection Blog


       Working on this first project for the class was my first true time working as a whole group to achieve something and it was a great experience. This presentation was about group leadership and problem solving and it made me realize the importance of organizing together as a group. Coincidentally, my partners and I's sub chapter was on group presentations, which was a huge and massive help as it gave great tips and points that I personally used while preparing our presentation. We also had a great leader in Grace, who did a great job of trying to get everything together and helping us if we had any trouble. When I heard of a "group presentation", I initially thought of it as a drag because I've always preferred to do presentations myself in high school, but this was definitely a whole new experience. They say team work makes the dream work and we definitely did a great job of coming together to produce, what I thought, was a great presentation. Groups one and two also had great presentations. They also clearly had great team work and harmony as their presentations not only looked great, but were also organized and were full of great information. They also had funny videos to make the learning easier and intuitive. I would say every group had a mixture of visually appealing slides, funny videos and nice pictures, and to the point information that got one sorted on what they were reading. I learned a lot of things from all the presentations. As I mentioned, I learned the importance of group team work and organization, the importance of a great leader and leadership within a group, intercultural communication, communication within groups, and problem solving as a leader and problem solving within a group. Our group, which was group three, applied a lot of problem solving methods that were learned within our chapter. Although I wasn't the leader of Group three, I also learned a lot of important things about leaders in our chapter. As I mentioned above, my sub chapter was about group presentations and evaluating group effectiveness. Group dynamics add to group effectiveness as I learned in the sub chapter and our group was very dynamic with each other. I believe that added great value to our presentation. My favorite part of this whole experience was simply meeting new people. My group was full of nice and caring people who really cared about producing a great presentation. Everyone was friendly to each other in the group chat which made the whole process smoother. We also all came together if anyone needed help or suggestions with their part of the presentation. I personally received a lot of help from the group members which was great. Overall, this was a great and unique experience like I said. I saw some great presentations, I met some great and friendly people, I learned some valuable things about leadership and group work, and I saw the importance of efficient team work.

Reflection Blog #2

  Christian Cabiedes  SPC 1017 February 3, 2021 Group Reflection Blog For our second class project, the class groups had to make presentations about real-life situations. My group was actually set to present first and our topic was on the COVID-19 pandemic. I really enjoyed this project because the fact that the topics were about things that are very current, made the project more enjoyable. I like covering the pandemic as it is very important and will be a very important moment in time when we look back on it in the future. We covered everything about it from how it spreads to the symptoms of the COVID-19 virus. The specific part me and my partner were covering was the handling of the virus in the United States compared to other countries around the world. Our group also had to make a brochure and a study guide. Our brochure looked very professional and was very well-made. The study guide was sort of like a summary of our whole presentation. The group in general was also help...

Reflection Blog # 2

          Melody Perez Serrano    SPC 1017    Group Reflection Blog               Our second group presentation was amazing, at first it was very stressing since we weren't able to plan so ahead of time because  we were the first group to present. At the beginning everything that we had to do, was super overwhelming but thanks of what we learned from out previous presentation  we were able to connect and make the presentation as good as we can. The topic was so big that we had trouble planning out how we were going to start. The meeting with the librarian helped a lot in this issue since she guided us in the best way on how to find  resources for our topic. The topic was about covid-19 pandemic, we covered all the bases and each of us concentrated in specific sub topics to help the audience understand better the topic and out presentation. Our ...

Our presentation went phenomenal everyone did an amazing job regardless of the fact that we were the first group presenting and had less time thanks to the great communication we all had, Grace and Lorena did a great introduction for the Coronavirus, Susej and I covered the history/overview of the pandemic, Andrei and Claudia did the public and personal recounts of the virus, Melody and Christian covered the handling of the virus in the united states and other countries, and finally Sade and Anniet went over the local and national resources regarding the whole pandemic. like I said before just great teamwork all around couldn't ask for a better team we put in a lot of effort and it shows.  The other groups projects which were Education and Racism were also amazing.
