Accomodation:
-Seeing issues as more important to others than self.
I feel that I took this approach to the class activity because my grade on the exam satisfied me. I knew that it was no longer about me looking out for me, because I was in a good spot. But I also knew that some of my other colleagues did not do as well. So I decided to fight for a solution that would benefit the class as a whole.
I feel that the result of the decision-making process benefitted the whole class. Sure we did not get to, thoroughly, review the format for the next exam but now that we are more familiar with the format it should help us to know what to look for.
Although there was not much structure within the decision-making process, I think we behaved ourselves in a very professional manner and came to a desirable conclusion for everyone.

King Tut
King Tut...that is the name my group decided on for our egg-protection device. Out of the five steps in the planning process, we went through four. We: 1) defined our goals and objectives; 2) determined our resources and goals vis-a-vis objectives; 3) developed several alternative strategies; and 5) implemented the plan and evaluated the results. We bypassed the fourth step, by accident. We had originally tried to plan certain tasks but when the time began to wind down, we each just fell into a role that allowed the device to be built on time. Yes, it was built but not according to our "tactical plan."
Judging from the outcome of our egg-protection device, I would have to say that my team's ultimate performance could not have gone any better. We followed the guidelines and our device worked. Each of us agreed on the final idea and helped out in the construction of it. I don't really think that our team could have been more effective.
As a side note, this class was, by far, the most interesting class I have had in my college experience. I look forward to the next group assignment.

Everyone's Biggest Managment Issue
I know that alot of people have said that Time Management is their biggest management issue, but at the risk of sounding like a follower I'd have to agree and say that Time Management is my biggest management problem as well. It isn't easy balancing a part-time job, being a full-time student and having a Girlfriend but I am determined to make it work because it is what makes me happy. I know how important school is, so that has to come first but I also need money so I have to work. And why else would I need money if I didn't have my Girlfriend to spend it on.
So that's my management problem and I hope to learn how to deal with it better throughout the semester.
