Group Interaction
1. How clear was the intent of the discussion?
The discussion this week by the team was great. We had a very clearly defined outline to follow which helped to organize our discussion topics amongst one another. As such, I felt that we were able to better express our thoughts to the specific subject at hand without leaving to question which point the poster may have been referring to.
2. How prepared were your group members for the discussion?
The team appeared to be very prepared. The discussion began early in the week and has continued on through day six. It has been added to each and every day. Furthermore, the knowledge of the subject matter is clearly identifiable within the content of the discussion.
3. Did everyone participate equally in the discussion?
Everyone participated well within the discussions. Yes, there were a few who participated more than others, but I felt that everyone was able to have enough input for it be substantial.
4. Were group members open to different points of view?
I believe that they were open to varied points of view. We did not always agree 100% on each line item. But, we all supported our views and were able to continue with the discussion without being distracted by a varied point of view.
5. How would you describe the overall climate of the discussion?
I would describe the climate of the discussion as being collaborative, constructive and positive. It really felt good to see that everyone was putting in valid thought to their contributions. I do not see that anyone is simply going through the motions and trying to skate by without learning the subject matter.
6. Did you feel your group was productive in the discussion? Did you use the time efficiently?
I do feel that the group was very productive within the discussions. The way in which the discussions were organized I believe helped to foster this
