We’ve come to the end. To tie a bow on it we would like to reflect on a moment of significance using a model by Rolfe et al.’s (2001)
What?
Throughout the course of the term, our group’s performance, uncertainty, and cohesiveness fluctuated dramatically. Despite all of this, we learned to incorporate everyone’s diverse perspectives and experiences, and use these unique qualities to better our project. Our group convened on the last flexible learning session of the term to formulate a plan of action for finishing well, and it could not have gone better. Everyone shared their ideas on how to proceed, and together we articulated an outline for our infographic and presentation.
So what?
Gaining a better understanding of the unique qualities that each group member brought to the table, allowed us to focus on every group members strengths, instead of worrying about each of our weaknesses. As a group, we realized that we were stronger working as a team, rather than adopting the divide and conquer method of splitting up the work into sections. Collaborating in this manner produced a much more cohesive and integrated outcome.
Now what?
In light of our newfound incite into how best we work as a group, we believe that we are more than ready to finish our project successfully and confidently. Moving forward, we aim to maintain great communication, and assist each other in producing the best work possible. We all wish to create an excellent presentation and report that will assist our community partner and future students in learning about the Richmond Food Bank and what it has to offer.
