Oral Communication

We have used groups in many of our assignments. The aspect of getting everyone on the same page and to do their work on time is hard. At the beginning of the semester on the jammed ad we had some problems on the fact that we couldn’t get everyone together at the same time. We eventually got this done and were able to complete the assignment on time and get everyone organized so that we could have an effective presentation. The fact that we were all pressed for time when we finally met helped me to see the importance of meeting early with my group so that we would have more time to get the project done. The hard thing in group work is to try to get everybody to agree on the way to do things and what to do them on. Everyone needs to be flexible with their ideas so that the entire group will be able to agree upon ideas. For instance in the audio project we had some disagreements on what place we would do our project on. We finally were able to agree because everybody was flexible with their ideas. The main thing that has to happen is that everyone needs to be flexible and respect everyone else’s ideas.
