This assignment is a tremendous opportunity for you to learn about your own behavior in a group as well as your group\u2019s process. In the past, many students have reported to me that it was one of the most eye-opening things they did in the semester. In many ways, the assignment is what you make of it. If you take it seriously and critically analyze yourself and your group, you will likely learn a lot that you can apply to your work for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a team paper (not individual paper). Please include the number of your group in the filename of the document you upload to Canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Logistics of Recording Meeting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You will need to visually record a minimum of 20 minute segment of your group while debating your answers for the Ancient Tale activity. Digital video recorders are available for borrowing from us if needed, but most (if not all) groups will find that one of their smart phones is sufficient; we will loan each group a mini tripod for recording. Keep in mind these recordings will be watched by group members and they need to see and hear all the group dynamics. Your laptop camera\/microphone or smart phone propped up might be sufficient \u2013 test it out in the room, though, to make sure you are capturing all the audio and visual clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will need to disseminate the video to all members of your team so that they can individually watch the recording (e.g., put copies of the session on a flash drive, or post to a shared drive such as Box).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you record your meeting, please be sure to sit in a semi-circle<\/u><\/strong> such that all group members are at least partially facing the camera (no backs to the camera) but so you are also facing each other. (That is, you should neither line up firing squad style so you can\u2019t see each other, nor should you have backs to the camera.) Speak loudly enough to be heard; you might want to try a test minute or so and listen to yourselves; it\u2019s imperative<\/strong> that everyone be heard on the recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Do & Write About<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to look in the proverbial mirror. It\u2019s important that you not be \u201crosy\u201d in your own diagnosis, which is a common tendency! Rather, take a professional stance and try to detach from your own foibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All<\/u><\/strong> members of your team need to watch the recording and take notes on the group process. You might decide to watch it as a group or as individuals (or both), but every<\/strong> member of the team needs to pull their weight by watching the recording and taking thoughtful notes for group discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your observations should DIAGNOSE the team dynamics using the material in the reading \u201cWhat to Observe for Group Process,\u201d and at least one other course reading<\/strong> that you believe is relevant to understanding the team\u2019s process. Take note of specific behaviors (e.g., A never spoke during the entire \u00bd hour or B continually interrupted A every time she tried to speak), but try not to impute motives or make critiques that you cannot support. For example, \u201cB was trying to shut A up when he interrupted her\u201d or \u201cB is sexist\u201d). Also, don\u2019t simply list these observations, but rather draw higher level inferences about what is happening in the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discuss as a team<\/strong> each of your observations and inferences.  Try to come to agreement about the dynamics you believe were operating in the team during this meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Offer a diagnosis and critique of the team\u2019s behavior<\/li>
  • Provide behaviorally-specific evidence to support your conclusions<\/li>
  • Refrain from guessing team members\u2019 motives behind their actions \u2013 although you can certainly talk about them as you diagnose yourselves<\/li>
  • Offer concrete recommendations for what the team members could do to improve their team interaction. Your recommendations should be based on course readings and class discussion material. <\/li>
  • Be sure to cite specific articles in this format (Edmondson, 2012) at the end of the sentence in which the idea from the article is mentioned.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The assignment should be 12 point font<\/strong> and approximately 2-3 single-spaced pages<\/strong> (not including title page and any references). Please upload as a Word document (with your team number in the filename), not a pdf (to facilitate feedback and grading process).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
