Midterm Reflection

I think our midterm turned out well.  Our group has worked together really well and we all have brought something to the table.  Everyone in our group has done everything they are assigned to, we don't have any slackers and we can count on eachother. 

Showing up: 8
Doing fare share of work: 8
Being on Time: 9
responding to emails and communicating: 9
handling a conflict: 9
being present in the group and not getting distracted: 9

I think five important rules for a successful group would be

Being punctual
Organized
Communicating well
everyone participating
sharing your ideas

Mid-Term Reflections

I think our group did quite well on our class presentation, and as for my personal contribution, I would give myself an 8.5. I researched the laws applicable to graffiti, but I probably could have said a bit more during the presentation. Everyone contributed and did the work asked of them too. At this time I wouldn't want to remove anyone from the group (or add anyone either). The group's dynamics are working nicely. Workplace rules are semi-important to the group, but there haven't been any real issues in that area. Everyone in the group has been in class for the most part, gotten all the work in on time, communicate with each other, and work well with each other. Five rules that are important to having an effective group I think are:
Being punctual
Completing all designated work
Being organized
Being able to work through conflict
Being able to follow and give directions when needed

Reflections

Reflecting back on the midterm, I would have to say it was an overall positive experience. Our group all had a positive hand in the outcome of our presentation and all did their parts in completing a compelling presentation. I would give myself an 8 on the scale of my overall contribution feeling that I was committed to giving the best possible presentation and not settling for anything less than A work. I would actually not remove any of our current group members or fire anyone at this point feeling that we all work well together. If a change was needed I would only add that the person be on time, perfect attendance, and overall have fun with the class and   only settle for A work.1.Showing up 10, 2. Doing fair share 10,3. Being on time 10,4. responding to emails 8, 5. handling conflict 8, 6. being present 10. Five rules for an effective group show up, come prepared, work well together, have a democracy, allow coffee.

Although, the majority of the world has laws against grafitti, there are still some areas that view this activity as an expression of art.
