How did you contribute to the group? What did you do, specifically? Our group volunteered to explore SORC (Student Organization Resource Center) and the benefits it offers not only to transfer students but overall student life. I contributed to the group by examining “OrgSync” and how it looks to connect students to organizations, communicate with other members, and explore their community. Orgsync is an essential part of SORC because it assists students find new organizations to join based on their interest. Many times students are just shocked at the amount of organizations that UMD has and they aren’t able to prioritize the organizations they want to get involved in. Orgsync allows for students to search up the vast organizations based …show more content…
During first look fair I heard, look up organizations in Orgsync it can help you get connected with the specific organizations that you might want to visit at first look fair. I never paid attention to Orgsync and now that I have did my research on the site I understood that this is a very beneficial site for the student body and how it can get students connected to organizations that peak their interest. Being futuristic and restorative I started to look at how Orgsync can benefit our T2T organization and class. For transfer students, their main problem is how they should get involved; it’s much easier said than done because the shock of being in a new environment is its own challenge. UMD offers a vast amount of organizations for students to join but students don’t know which ones to join, Orgsync simplifies that by condensing the large quantity of organizations based on the student’s interests, so it would be easier for students to join SORC. Than I thought that this site can be really beneficial for out T2T class, because for our social media posts we have to create a Facebook account and post pictures through that and after we are done with the class many will deactivate their Facebook if their sole purpose of making it was for the class. Instead we can use Orgsync as a means for social media post that can organize the class into sections such …show more content…
As team members we understood one another's abilities and trusted one another with the task handed too us. All of us where capable of giving the presentation all by our self since there was an ample amount of resources that SORC has to offer to students. But we divided up the topics evenly throughout the group so that no one felt left out. There was balance between the distribution of responsibility for ever member so the workload wasn’t on one person. The overall outcome of the project was that we learned a lot about SORC and how before SORC the clubs never really used the place very efficiently and it was just a space in the stamp that wasn’t used to its full potential. We got to know about the various special effects in SORC such as the “white noise”. Also the items that are in SORC are very unique, the circle table is a one of a kind piece and the underneath the stools are signatures of certain individuals. What I found about my group is that we were well-coordinated, because soon after we were done meeting up with Ashley we started a google doc PowerPoint and we all knew the part we were assigned to
By working together there is information sharing, improve safety and quality also collaboration gives knowledge to other professionals. (Littlechild and Smith, 2013).what I have learned through working in partnership with other professionals was creating a poster related to what each professional does. Some of the professionals I did not know how exactly they work together in partnership. Example: I was not aware of how a radiology would work with a social work and the outcome of that was that Radiology develop and maintain collaborative relationship with medical colleagues and participates in regular meetings with other professionals activities to meet the needs of a service users therefore they collaborate with Social Workers. By doing a poster and delivering information I learned a lot from the other team members, shared experiences knowledge and skills with other group members. Group work made me realise how it is very important to work in multi-displinary team, the benefit of it and what others can benefit from. During the poster each of the student was from different professional however we all had the question but each had to look at it in each profession perspectives. This gave an opportunity to everyone to go and search for each professional and communicate with the rest of the group the outcome of the presentation. By doing that, we exchanged ideas learned from each other’s skills and used it into practice. I have learned about sharing information with others, learned about communication and

Some barriers I faced while I was preparing the teaching project was trying to word the project so that the group could understand it. In addition, I had problems with trying to avoid giving to much information because I didn't want them to become disinterested. The developmental characteristics of the respective group helped me format the project suitable for learning and relevant to the participants. This was done so that effective teaching was done. Changes that I would consider if i had to do it again would be to post signs prior to the presentation so that perhaps more people would come and join.
Furthermore, the importance of teamwork and collaboration to produce a superior work as a result of bolstering each other strengths was demonstrated in my third artifact, which is a group presentation. Although this project was my first english presentation and I had many feelings encountered, positive and negative ones, it showed me the influence that an orator can convey not only in a massive group but also inside a classroom. Good speakers plan not only the content of their speech but also their style of delivery. Despite the importance of having a clear and logical message to convey, how the message is presented is critical for bringing forth the desire concept (WOVEN 229).
At Rutgers, I will have the opportunity to learn beyond the classroom. The Department of Student Involvement includes over 450 student organizations, something my current college lacks. I want to get involved in campus life to enhance my leadership skills and
As a freshman who is eager to start getting involved in my new community and school CSC will allow me to do exactly that. I think CSC is an incredible organization because with 2,000 student volunteers UCLA can make such an powerful impact on our campus, in LA, and in our world. I want to be apart of that. Since I am not an LA native, CSC will introduce me to the needs and challenges in the LA area. The biggest reason I want to become a fellow is because I have a deep desire to learn about the social issues we are facing and how I can start to implement a change within my
During the first year of focusing on culture, I worked with two other group members to teach the rest of my club about the Greek culture. We collaborated with one another to create a presentation and Olympic course after we learned that the original Olympics was held in Greece. This group experience enhanced my skills of cooperation, time management, independence, learning the values of various cultures. As a group, we equally split up the work of researching and presenting, so as a responsible group member, I learned to follow through with my portion of work. Other than doing research, presenting the information and activity to
How did your group work together? Did your time struggle to work together, or was it very easy? During the event as well as before the event we were meeting to work together on our tasks which we are very pleasant off.
I believe that bringing forth a new fraternity is a step in the right direction and the personal relationships that I have made with many of the organizations puts me in a special position to present opportunities for us to collaborate leading to time spent bonding and eventually strong relationships being
In order to evaluate my role within the group, it is important to identify what makes a group. A group must firstly consist of more than three members, “Two members have personal relationships; with three or more there is a change in quality” of the personal relationship. (Bion 1961, p26) The group must have a common purpose or a goal in order to succeed. Having now completed my group work task, I can look back and reflect upon the process that my group went through to get to the presentation end point.
You’ve heard the advice before “get involved, join a club”, at the University of Montana (UM) we are a very large commuter college, involvement is a good way to develop relationships with other students and to create a sense of community for yourself and others.
When our class shared their solo flight proposal, I came across a painting of one my peers who tried to conclude her life through the various drawings and vibrant colours in her project. It was quite fascinating to connect to the people who share the same passion towards arts and able to express their experience and emotions through it. In addition, I also learned to deal with group conflict wisely when misunderstanding between the group members occurred during one of our assignment. Therefore, group cohesiveness, sharing experiences and exchanging ideas were some of highlights of this
In high school I was also involved with many organizations and I feel like this process is going on again now that I am in college. I have joined a few different organizations and not all of them ha...
We observed the occurrence of synergy as we worked together with a significant deal of cooperation between members of the team. Previously, none of us were found to be dominant in our specific divisions and there are many groups in the presentation with exceptional skills to succeed. But, coming together in this group, we are able to succeed from other groups in presentation while demonstrating the significant synergetic group work. We were not able to win on individual level but our contribution to the group has combined to influence our performance positively and letting us achieve our goal of winning maximum marks. It is important for us to note that we would not be able to gain success in this presentation on individual basis but contributions from each of us combined to let us achieve our goal of gaining maximum marks in this task. We met every two weeks whenever we had our employment classes and these meetings were productive. These meetings went well but they could have been more productive if we had structured a proper schedule for maximising our meeting time. While considering the potentials of our group, our coach informed us that our group can only win if we want to and this caused a positive reaction with the confidence. None of us had any issues of ego and self-centeredness but instead we all wanted our group to perform outstanding. We consistently possess
