Week 16: D1


Discuss your Group Observation Project.  Was it a useful exercise?  What did you learn?  What was good about the project?  What can be improved?  

The group observation was a useful exercise for the class. I thought that it was helpful because I got to use what I learned from the class and apply it. Since I focused on a high school volleyball team I was able to see a lot of the flaws I once had when I was on volleyball team a couple of years ago. I learned that working in a group is a hard deed. With research, it deepened my understanding for some of the concepts that I applied on the project. I also saw how nonverbal messages were very apparent in larger groups and how sometimes it speaks louder than words. What was good about the project was that it actually showed me what I personally learned from the class that I did not before. I thought one thing that I can improved on my project is being more detailed with my observations. For instance, I should have observed more practices and games, which could be helpful in my determination of how the group interacted with each other. It was a fun project examining people and their interactions with one another.

  1. Good evening Cynthia. It sounded like you had a great time doing your group work. Being that you observed the high school volleyball team I am happy that you noticed some of the flaws you once had had when you were on the team. Hopefully you passed that information on to the team as well. One thing I know is that more detailed you are about your observations the more you will appreciate the sport and preparation as well as the communication process as well. One thing I will add on that is working in a group is a hard deed and it is not just on the volleyball team. Good luck to you and on the final.
