wk. 5/9-15 quest. 2

2) I liked doing the observation of an outside group project. Besides reading the course material I was able to see a real small group in action. I am a member of a small group myself at work, but observing a group from the exterior was very insightful. I got to carefully look at each group member and make connections to the concepts we learned about in our book. When I began writing my essay it was easy to make careful analysis of the group because I already had made these specific connections. My small group was a little small, it would have been more interesting to observe a slightly larger group. I was also disappointed that my group did not have much cultural diversity. I was very intrigued by this communication concept during the course and was upset that I wasn’t able to watch a diverse team group work together. But I was able to discuss how a lack of diversity helped and did not help the group I observed, so it worked out.
