Confessions From a College Student

Photo by Flickr In class this week we discussed Project 2. It's another group project.. alright I have to admit I was a bit nervous for our new project only because I feel like project one didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped. For the most part I enjoyed working with my group members and I really got to know each one of them. I got along with them and we each contributed the same amount of effort towards this project, but my biggest concern wasn't necessarily the group members but rather the assignment.

We broke into small groups during this time to work on our very first collaborative project. My group, the Cinco Gatos created our very own website analysing Tuckman's five stages on the movie Cool Runnings.  During this time I really got to know my group members. I learned how everyone works in a group. I feel like our group went through the five stages as well.
