Think about the new role for your smart phones in group work in class. Will you be using Google Docs to exchange documents? |
How does the classroom and the arrangement of objects within it constrain and enable group activities? |
Think about other teachers, classes, supervisors, jobs, and other individuals that can have an impact on your ability to carry out group assignments. |
Name but don't describe in detail, the value-realizing procedures your group is adopting. |
What are university regulations that will have an impact on your group work. For example, switches between MWF and TTH schedules. |
There is a wealth of information and skill locked in each of your group's members. How will you unleash these and telescope them into group work and activities? How, in other words, will you work to maximize group synergies and minimize group disadvantages? |
Exercises 1-3 compose the Preliminary Self-Evaluation which is due shortly after semester-long groups are formed. Exercise 4 is the close-out group self evaluation which is due at the end of the semester.
Exercise 4: prepare a final, group self-evaluation
- Due Date: One week after the last class of the
semester when your group turns in all its materials.
- Length: A minimum of five pages not including
Team Member Evaluation Forms
- Contents:
- 1. Restate the Ethical and Practical Goals
that your group developed at the beginning of its formation.
- 2. Provide a careful, documented assessment of
your group’s success in meeting these goals. (Don’t just assertthat “Our group successfully realized justice in all its activities
this semester.” How did your group characterize justice in thecontext of its work? What specific activities did the group carry
out to realize this value? What, among these activities, worked andwhat did not work?)
- 3. Identify obstacles, shortcomings or
failures that you group experienced during the semester. How didthese arise? Why did they arise? How did you respond to them? Did
your response work? What did you learn from this experience?
- 4. Assess the plans you set forth in your
initial report on how you intended to realize values and avoidpitfalls. How did these work? Did you stick to your plans or did
you find it necessary to change or abandon them in the face ofchallenges?
- 5. Discuss your group’s procedures and
practices? How did you divide and allocate work tasks? How did youreach consensus on difficult issues? How did you ensure that all
members were respected and allowed significant and meaningfulparticipation? What worked and what did not work with respect to
these procedures? Will you repeat them in the future? Would yourecommend these procedures as best practices to future
groups?
- 6. What did you learn from your experience
working as a team this semester? What will require furtherreflection and thought? In other words, conclude your
self-evaluation with a statement that summarizes your experienceworking together as a team this semester.
Appendix for admi 4016, falkl 2013 and following
- What are the results of your group's challenge to the College of Business Administration's Statement of Values? (This can be found in Developing Ethics Codes and Statements of Value. See exercise 2. http://cnx.org/content/m14319/1.11/
- What is your group's CID Structure? See presentation two at the bottom of the module, A Short History of the Corporation. http://cnx.org/content/m17314/1.7/
Wrap up: some further points to consider...
- Don’t gloss over your work with
generalizations like, “Our group was successful and achieved all ofits ethical and practical goals this semester.” Provide evidence
for success claims. Detail the procedures designed by your group tobring about these results. Are they “best practices”? What makes
them best practices?
- Sometimes—especially if difficulties
arose—it is difficult to reflect on your group’s activities for thesemester. Make the effort. Schedule a meeting after the end of the
semester to finalize this reflection. If things worked well, whatcan you do to repeat these successes in the future? If things
didn’t work out, what can you do to avoid similar problems in thefuture? Be honest, be descriptive and avoid blame language.
- This may sound harsh but get used to it.
Self-evaluations—group and individual—are an integral part ofprofessional life. They are not easy to carry out, but properly
done they help to secure success and avoid future problems.
- Student groups—perhaps yours—often have
problems. This self-evaluation exercise is designed to help youface them rather than push them aside. Look at your goals. Look at
the strategies you set forth for avoiding Abilene, groupthink, andgroup polarization. Can you modify them to deal with problems? Do
you need to design new procedures?

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
