How do you most comfortably act in a group?

Keeping the energy high and keeping others engaged and excited

Make sure group members are on task and no distractions disrupt meetings

Giving everyone the chance to voice their opinion, helping construct and record what’s discussed

Playing devil’s advocate in a sense and always questioning the discrepancies that exist within other’s ideas, which usually leads to a stronger project

Analyzing the rubric and requirements to assure all the components are being fulfilled by the team’s project

During the meeting, your group is discouraged by the directions for the assignment, you…

You pull out your surprise snack of Sour Patch Kids and tell everyone not to get discouraged and play your group's theme song and dance.

You tell everyone to focus and to each read the directions over one more time.

You share the notes you had taken from class when your professor went into depth about the project directions and willingly accept everyone’s opinions on your notes, including the major ideas.

You question every sentence in the directions and focus on what the big picture of the assignment is.

You keep turning the pages between the directions and the rubric to further analyze what the expectations for the assignment is.

Your team is beginning to assemble the completed project, what are you doing?

Pumping everyone up and reminding them we're in the home stretch and can all go out for food afterwards.

Making sure everyone is certain on what they have to do and that the project will be completed

I'm repeating shortened versions of what everyone else is saying and sharing my notes

I'm questioning whether or not the team is doing everything correctly and worrying that we might be doing the entire thing wrong

I'm looking over the entire rubric one more time...or maybe three, just to be sure we're not forgetting anything.

Oh no! There's someone on their phone during the group meeting, how do you handle this situation?

I'd walk over and politely ask them to get off and encourage them to focus on the team

I would yell at them to pay attention and would probably try to take their phone away from them for the remainder of the meeting.

I'd wait for them to get off the phone and then go over what was discussed while they were away. I most likely wrote it all down

I'd question why they are so focused on the phone but at the end of the day, we have to focus on the big picture: how are we going to get this project done?

Ha! They can do whatever they want, I have it all under control anyway.
