Final Discussion- Post 1
Looking back, I do think that the Group Observation Project
was a useful project. This term I was also enrolled in Comm 156i- Qualitative
Communication in which the main assignment for the class was a semester-long
research project. This project was similar to the Group Observation in that
they both required the use of observations; however, Comm 156 required
interviews and surveys in addition to the observations. Though the content of
the assignments were different, I feel both projects helped me greatly in terms
of identifying and interpreting group behaviors. In regards to this class, the
Group Observation Project was very beneficial as it allowed us a chance to
apply what we had learned through the course of the semester. I also feel that
the Movie Review/Analysis Paper was a good introduction to the Group
Observation Project since it prepared us on how to observe a group before we
had to do so first hand. Overall I thought the Group Observation Project was
structured well and can’t think of anything in particular I would change.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the group observation project. I can’t image having two semester long projects, but I can see how useful each was. I agree that this project allowed us a chance to analyze and interpret group behavior. I also feel that what I have learned from the group observation I can use in other group settings, or meetings. One thing I liked about the Group Observation was I was able to be an outsider, so I finally was able to view group work and problem solving from a new perspective. Thus, I am able to think of other ways or solutions myself, from watching what I’ve seen and learn from this group observation. I really enjoyed your blog, and loved your thoughts on the group observation project. Thank you again for sharing and great work!
