This week you will be writing two inital comments and only replying to one student. So be sure that you complete DQ#8a and DQ#8b.
Read the article "Making the Grade in Group Presentations" When making a group presentation (something you'll experience in this class) you need OCC, but these aren't easy to accomplish. How can you make sure that you have OCC with your group? Of the three what do you think is the most important and why? How are you going to work to make sure that your group presentation in this class or another class will be successful?

You get everyone in the game and start working so they can give some ideas on what they should do and how we should create the presentation and what everyone's role is on this. Get cooperative so that everyone can be a part of what the group was task to. By making sure everyone is doing what they supposed to be doing.

How you can make sure that you and your group is organized is for you and your teammates have someone assigned as the leader that is responsible and is very organized. They should have all of the information that they need to get a hold of anyone in the group. Then they can help plan times to practice your presentation and when you can do researching. For your group to get coordinated you need to practice over and over again. Figure out who is going to be saying what and then rehearse it that way. Make sure that your group speaks loudly and has smooth transitions. Lastly to get cooperation you have to make sure that everyone is willing to be involved. The leader needs to get everyone’s ideas and communicate with their partners. Out of the three of those I think that organization is the best because if you just throw a bunch of random stuff in your project without having a leader or anything than your presentation will most likely not be very successful and it will be a mess. My group will have a leader and then we will get everybody’s ideas and try to include most of them. We will also assign certain jobs so that the project gets done faster so that we can rehearse it more.

I can see what you're implying with organization being the most important, and although I slightly disagree, I think that you make a good point and that we can all learn from this. Other than my slight disagreement, I completely agree and think that your answer to this DQ was really thought out and worded great!

Jaden I agree with you completely. I think that Organized is most important also. I also like how you said what you should do, like step by step. You worded this really well and how you said you should assign someone responsible. Someone who is organized and can make sure that everything is in line and ready to be showed to the following group mates.

To make sure that you have OCC with your group, you should start with the easy stuff; getting one person to be the group leader/organizer, planning when you will work on the presentation, writing the tasks that are needed to be done for the presentation and then adding a few details here and there, appointing certain people to do things (research, get pictures, site, etc.) that go great with their strengths, and practicing. After that, you should start aiming for the harder things; transitions, teamwork, and inclusion. The most important of these things is the cooperation part. I know, surprising right? Really it's not because if you think about it, you can't get organized if your group isn't cooperating or completely included. You can't get coordinated and practice if your group is scattered due to poor cooperation. So really, you can't get anything done without cooperating and working as a team first. I as an individual, am going to work on my patience and making sure that everyone is included, as well as making sure I'm getting included. I'm also going to work hard and do what's needed first, then work on the minor details.

I agree with you to Briielle. You worded your DQ very well I thought and included a lot of good details. I agreed with how you said that even if you are organized that doesn't mean that every one is involved and included.

I think to make sure you have OCC with your group you need to read over those and kind of put each one of those out there and see if you meet each standard. You could also just know by the people you are with because you know those people pretty well and you know kind of what they do. Our town is small that we know most everyone and know what people can do. Lastly you could make a check list and simply check off what you have. I think the first step is most important, Organized. You need to make sure everyone knows what’s going on and what your plan is and who could be in charge. I would say that that is the base and is really important because everyone needs to know what they are doing and have someone who could help be in charge of that. I am going to make sure that we use the steps from the other DQa and use this DQ’s steps. Using both of these I think will be very helpful and just making sure everyone is involved and that it gets done in time.

I agree with what you said Sydney we should go and help out others in the group and listen to their ideas. And that a person in there group will make a list for the jobs that may help with the group working and make everyone fell like they are a part of something.

Sydney I completely agree with you because people do throw people under the bus or when the teacher asks a question about how to do it people don't know how to solve it and it makes the group look bad because they didn't know what to do. I also agree with what you said about you can tell what they are doing because if they are talking and not getting any work done then they are no working.

A way to make sure that you have OCC with your group, is to vote someone to be your group leader, when you would want to get together and work on the presentation you are making and where you want to want to get together. I think that the most important idea is to pick a responsible leader. If you have a leader that doesn't care and doesn't get their work done then you won't be able to finish your project and you won't get a good grade. I will be able to get our presentations done because I will make sure that everyone will get a say in our presentations and make sure that in gets included in the ideas that we make.

To have organization, cooperation, and coordination I can make sure that I am always prepared to work, have patients with my teammates, and stay motivated to do a good job. I can also maintain a good work ethic so that I can help my group do well and get a good grade. I think that the most important trait to have out of the three is cooperation because if everyone cooperates with each other then there is bound to be a positive and productive work environment, and the presentation should run smoothly. In this class and my other classes, I will try to maintain all of these traits so that I will be a good addition to any group and maybe I can influence my peers to do a good job also. I can do this by keeping a positive attitude and always being prepared to help my group and do my part.

How your group can be more organized? Is to make someone the leader that is responsible, organized, and will to do the best. That person should be able to make sure everyone has a part. Also, when the practice are, what time to be be there, and where they are at. I think that cooperation is important, because you want to communicate with everyone in the group. If you have cooperation your more successful. How I am going to make sure all presentation in this class or another class will be successful? Is that I am going to be organize and not all over the place. I am going to cooperate will others that are in my group, and others around me. Also, I am going to practice more then I usually.

You can make sure you have OCC with your group by having good cooperation because if you don't have cooperation then you are failing the OCC already, also check and see if you and your group are organized because it is extremely helpful if you and your group are organized. The last thing you need to extremely make sure you get coordinated because if you aren't coordinated and you are going for a big presentation it would help if you know your parts your doing in the presentation so everybody isn't trying to read the same part because if you aren't coordinated then it would make you look bad in the presentation. I think that the most important out of OCC is the cooperation because if you don't have good cooperation then it will mess you up in that class for sure. I am going to talk to all my teamates to make sure we are completing all the assignments and making sure we have cooperation.

OCC is very important but also a challenging task. Being organized, having cooperation, and getting coordinated is hard to do with everybody in the group. I think that getting organized is the most important. Most of the time you can finish a group project or PowerPoint in class which won’t require you to get coordinated and meet up in non-class time. When you don’t have cooperation it certainly makes things harder, but you can live without it. If you’re not organized you won’t have a good project and you won’t present well at all. If you are organized you will know what you’re supposed to be doing in the presentation and project, and if you don’t know what you’re doing then it won’t go well at all. I am going to make sure that presentation or project is successful by being organized. If I help everybody in the group know what they’re doing and if I make sure that our presentation is organized then we will present good and we will have a good presentation or project.

A way that we can accomplished OCC is to take some time and make sure that everything is organized, and have several people read it and have them see if there's anything we can change to make it better. a way that everyone can get coordinated is to make sure that you practice the presentation a lot and make sure everyone knows what there supposed to read outloud, without looking at what there supposed to say. a way that we can cooperate, is to practice the presentation several times before the presentation, and make sure that everyone has agreed with what there supposed to say so that people don't start arguing before the presentation and so when the presentation comes up people don't start saying things at the same time.

One way you could have OCC is having time to make sure you are organized and well managed. You could also encourage people in your group to contribute and made sure that they know that they are doing. This is something that everyone can agree on. I think the most important part of OCC is cooperation because if you don't have cooperation you are already failing OCC. It would be hard to do the project by yourself and have no one to give ideas to and talk to about ideas. I will work to make my group presentations better by making sure everyone is cooperating in it, everyone has a part and no one is left out of the project that we are doing.

I agree with you Danner, to have OCC in your group, being well managed and organized, and otherwise yes, you are failing OCC. I like how you also inferred that communication helps, by exchanging ideas and cooperating with your entire group, and that it is better to work with others than to work by yourself, because working by your self can be more challenging.

How I can make sure that me and my group have organization, coordination, and cooperation, is to communicate with my entire group, and make sure that everyone is getting work done, and not sitting there doing nothing. Of the three, even though all are important, I believe that getting coordinated is the most important. If you get coordinated, it means that you are communicating with your group, letting each other know what is done, and when and where your group could practice your presentation. If you practice the presentation, it flows together better, sounds better, and your entire group will work better, and sound a bit more professional. How I am going to make sure that any group presentation is successful in any class is to communicate with my group and make sure that they are still getting work done, while I am also getting work done on the project myself. If I feel that our group is behind the deadline, I will try to get as much of the group together to work before or after school to make sure that the project is finished before the deadline, and that we had some time to practice and rehearse for the project or presentation.

I think that you could make sure that your group has OCC by making sure that you have a responsible and organized leader and making sure everyone has a part or something to do and they know it. If someone doesn’t know what they are supposed to do you will not have a very successful group. You also want to have good cooperation. You want everyone working together and no one falling behind. I think that cooperation is the most important key to having a successful group. If you don’t have cooperation your group will fall apart. An example would be if you don’t make sure everyone has a part then your assignment will be missing something or it just won’t be completed. Without cooperation, there will be no point in having a group. In my group, I will make sure everyone knows what they are doing and when. I will also make sure that we get coordinated by practicing on our free time and making it so everyone understands us and our project. I will also try and keep everyone organized and make our presentation/assignment more in order.

You can make sure by having person be organized, who can keep the project safe and not lose it. You need the whole group to cooperate so you should try to hear everybody's ideas and try to understand what everybody wants. The group would need somebody who is flexible or coordinated and can work on anything. Comments are closed.
