Week 16, Question 1
My project was on a gymnastics team that is working on being a top gymnastics club. I have been a cheerleader forever and it was really interesting to be able to evaluate a group of amazingly talented girls from a similar sport. I really did like the projects because I was surprised by some of my findings and how well the girls were related to many of the topics we had read about this semester. I think if I could have done it a little different I would have done something that had to do with SJSU only. I think (of course as a cheerleader) it is important to get to know what we have on campus and what small groups make up who we are as a school. I think the project was drug out a lot over the semester but still it was nice to know all semester long that this project was always there to work on. I would have liked to see what everyone was doing their topic on first to really generate ideas as well as bounce ideas and revisions off each other.

Hola miss cheerleader!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the project was fun and it was interesting to see a lot of the concepts we have been reading about in action. It's kind of funny but when you watch a group interact for a while the concepts from the book really come out as if it was scripted. You can also spot flaws in how people deliver their messages or listen, or participate in the group, and you almost want to interrupt and tell them to be more active in speaking or listening, etc.
Observing groups from SJSU would have been fun. I agree it would also give us a chance to explore new groups on campus that we normally would not give the time of day, and I agree that the campus groups are important as well.
I also loved your idea of bouncing ideas off each other early on. That would have been a good idea about half way through the semester instead of emailing her about our project.
