First of all, I named this entry a fresh start because in a way, the professor allowed the class to still earn a good grade even if we did poorly on the first exam. It's as if we got a fresh start because we still have a chance to do well in the class. I thought that the decision making activity was very educational and at the same time benefitial, something I will definitely take away with me after the semester is over.
I personally used the compromise method to handle the situation we were facing. I listened to all the options and opinions carefully and was willing to accept several of the options. I chose this method because in my personal opinion and experience, it is the most successful. I believe that when it is difficult to make a decision, compromising is the best way to go, especially in a scenario like this when people have different grades and liked different parts of the exam (ex: essay, no essay, multiple multiple choice, etc).
Consequently, I still think I would have chosen to use a compromising method because I think it is very fair to meet in the middle. For instance, when nobody could decide what to do with our next exam, we just compromised and decided to leave it up to the professor. I felt like that eliminated the chaos of coming up with a solution some people might not have liked. Compromising makes it equal for all classmates and I believe that is the best solution for eliminating problems of decision making. Don't get me wrong, I don't think this is always the best solution, but in our particular case I believe it was.

I also chose compromising method because I thought that it would be more effective to handle conflicts. Especially we had to finish in limted time.
ReplyDeleteI also used a compromise method. It is always good to listen to others' opinions, know what they think, or how they would act. It also leads people to find the agreement; accept and give up part of the demend.
