Q Individual student reaction papers serve a different purpose than team decision rationale papers. Individual student reaction papers help you, as an individual student, to reflect and gain insight on how you interact with others and how you can enhance your observation skills and small group interaction skills in a decision based situation. This paper should be seven pages TO nine in length NOT including the table of contents, title page, table of contents and References. This paper should NOT be a line by line discussion of the decisions made by your group. This information is already contained in the team decision rationale paper. Instead, this paper should address such questions as: 1. Were you satisfied with how your team performed as a team? If not, why? 2. Where did your team perform particularly well? Where could your team have performed more effectively? Why? 3. What role did you play in your team? What role did other team members play? In this section , make sure that you indicate the names of specific team members in terms of their roles, functions or behaviors. 4. How did your team deal with such issues as: (a) leadership, (b) conflict, (c) participation, (d) communication effectiveness and listening to each other, etc. 5. What have you learned from other courses in your leadership program that help you to better understand what is happening in your team in the capstone course? Be specific as to the course, the ideas, concepts, models, and the particular author. 6. How do you think your team can improve its functioning in the next scenario? 7. What can you do to improve your functioning within your team in the next scenario? 8. What did you find particularly satisfying in working with your team in this scenario? What did you find particularly frustrating in working with your team in this scenario? You do not get penalized during the first scenario if your team makes a mistake –this is a learning opportunity. What we want to know is what you learned from such a mistake, if it did occur. Do not make your paper an outline or bullet point response to the questions above. Rather, make it flow as a well thought out and developed paper. For many of you this is one of your last courses, therefore we expect the quality of your writing to be at its best. Your individual student reaction paper should not have more than 10% focused upon what decision your team made, instead the majority of your paper (at least 90% of your paper) should be devoted to what you learned working in your team. This is about your team’s internal behavioral dynamics and process, not its technical decisions on the scenario. The majority of your grade on this paper will come from how insightful you are regarding what happened within your team, what your role was in that process, what you learned from this process and how you can link this learning to what you learned from other books, models, or courses in your leadership degree program. As you move from Scenario 1 to Scenario 2 and Scenario 3, each individual student reaction paper increases in its percentage impact on your final grade (5%, 7%, 8%) and also has different criteria for writing the paper. Please make sure that you read the guidelines for each of these papers carefully to ensure that you meet the requirements of the guidelines for each individual team reaction paper. This paper is worth 6% of your final course grade. My expectation of how thoughtful, thorough, and insightful you are in your analysis in these papers also increases. When looking at your paper, the title page, table of contents and bibliography do NOT count in the page total. You can use either APA or MLA Style for your paper. Your paper should be double spaced, use the TAHOMA FONT and be type written. No submissions from having this written on an I-Phone will be accepted. Students should send their papers to Dr. Groves’ email address - drjerrygroves@comcast.net The due date for this paper is: Saturday, May 26th, 2018 at 8:00 PM.
