To be entirely honest, my group and I didn't succeed at building an effective egg protector, however we did work well as a team. We followed all the steps of planning although not realizing it. Obviously we defined our goal, which was to make a great egg protector and get the 5 point extra credit lol. Secondly, we spoke about the limited resources that we had and how we needed to utilize them all in order to build the best cage. Next, we did develop several alternative strategies because we thought about the various types of cages we could make and the impact each would have if we were to drop the egg in it. Step 4 which talks about making a tactical plan was also used by our group. We decided on which cage to make and each and every member had a job to perform. Finally, we implemented the plan by building the cage we agreed on but unfortunately our egg protector was not good enough.
I would say my group did pretty well together. We didn't argue, listened to each person's suggestions and each one of us helped out. It was entirely a group effort as I thought it should of been. By the last minute however, we started to all panic because our egg protector was incomplete and just made almost anything but that's okay because it was fun and educational.
As a group, we could of been more effective if we didn't really change our minds about the cage we wanted to make last minute. We kept thinking a different design would be better and as a result lost a lot of time on that.
This was definitely a very fun experiement =-)

Yes, i agree time was our most significant problem. We needed to make a firm right decision fast and we were not able to do so. Overall we did a great job helping eachother and working with one another. Which i think is very unique and special of our group. We did not argue or fight. We had a few leaders that were directing us in the right direction but we were all on the same page!
ReplyDeleteIts difficult and lucky to get that in a group. I guess that means that if the time limit wasn't there, you guys could've eventually come up with something successful. Did any leaders arise in the group through the project? Do you think this would've made it more difficult?
