Communicating In Groups

Group projects are a key essential to the college experience. And I was fortunate enough to experience this. Every class was split into 3 groups and were given specific chapters to cover. Group1 having chapter 3, Group 2 having chapter 9, and Group 3 having chapter 10. Our class leader, Maria, was assigned to give the introductions and conclusions for all 3 groups. So, after we were assigned, we naturally went in order (i.e., group1, group 2, etc.). I was in the glorious group 2 where I got to meet all these lovely people. We had 9 days to present our chapters and work together as a team. I’m glad that we had 9 days for the reason that it gave us an opportunity to meet and get to know everyone. Even though we got added 2 extra people into our group later that weekend, we still managed to work out amazingly. We split each subtopic into 3 and assigned it to all of us. My topics were service group, work group, and work group team. Everyone has a different r...

Hey Everyone!      My name is Hailey Torres and I currently attend Miami-Dade College. I choose to take SPC1017 (Introduction to Communication) during the Spring 2022 Semester with Professor Sinkoff. On the second day of class with Professor Sinkoff, everyone was split into groups of around 10-13 people and was given a topic to present within the next week. The topics were chapters from our textbook "COMM 6 Sellnow+Verderber+Verderber." The three groups were group 1, group 2, and lastly group 3. Group 1 presentation was based off of chapter 3 (Intercultural Communications), Group 2 was assigned chapter 9 (Communication in Groups), and finally group 3 presentation was based off of chapter 10 (Group Leadership and Problem Solving." Group 1 presented two days after we were given instructions, group 2 presented 7 days after and group 3 presented 9 days after instructions. I was apart of group 2, we had a total of 6 days to prepare and research. We had a total of 12 people, t...

  Hello everyone,   Today I will be telling you guys more on what I experienced and learned from our group project for our Introduction to communication course.   It started with being divided and split up into three different groups by our classes professor Sinkoff. All three groups were given a chapter to focus on and each member of the group given a subject of the chapter to cover, adding up to a hopefully synchronized and informative presentation of each chapter. We were allowed to combine definitions, facts, videos and pictures to provide a more interactive and collage type of chapter breakdown. Group one was assigned chapter 3: Intercultural Communications. For being the group to start the class off, they did good job. Their presentation was informative and organized. The way the information shared went hand and hand with the videos and photos added really kept me intrigued and interested in what to listen to next. They started by introducing important key Terms...

  After our first project as a group I have a better understanding of other ways to communicate when working with other people no matter the circumstance. Especially in this day and age with the pandemic, technology has made it somewhat easier to be able to communicate, have class and work with people. Within the project we were all split into 3 groups and each group had to create a powerpoint presentation based on chapters/topics from the book "COMM 6: Speech Communication" and their overall understanding of these chapters. I would say when joining group 2 to present chapter 9 we all worked well with each other and everyone played their part well even those who couldn't make it. Using WhatsApp played an important role when figuring different things out when it came down to who gets what topics, how many words each person would present, while also giving each other different tips and praising each other when another group member added some flavor to the powerpoint. To qui...
