Social Organizations Paper
I thought the second assignment we did was very helpful to me. It was a difficult assignment as we all had to communicate online. However this helped me in learning how to effectively communicate with group members throughout the assignment. We did revisions to the paper, critiques... etc. I also liked how we got to chose a paper based on something we felt strongly about, and how we got to bring an important issue to the forefront. Also going back and using specific terms that we learned out of the book was refreshing in the sense that we reviewed everything we learned in class and helping me prepare for future tests. Now I feel that I have a stronger grasp on the book as we went through and applied these definitions towards the real world. So in all it was a good assignment in helping me work together with people who are in another city or out of the country as I probably will take further online classes and would need this knowledge to communicate with future group members.

yeah, i agree with you that we can build up our communication skills by just working with a group to do a project. The meeting with each group member was very difficult because everyone had to find the available time to go on AIM. It was even more frustrating when a few of our group members could not enter the group chat room so we had to chat separately with each member. I also agree with you that the projects help me prepare for our tests since we have to apply what we learn and try to communicate that info to the project.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the second assignment was difficult since it requires more thinking outside the box. I also think that it was great how we got to chose what we strongly believed in. The social organization assignment made me go back to all the previous chapter that we've learned and apply it as a concept towards the paper. I agree with you that online assignments taught us how to communicate even though someone might be out of the country or in another city. Sometimes, it gets annoying when there's technical issues with the chatroom but then it taught me patience and to help one another out.
