SPCH 225/B. Larson
Case Study Project &
Symposium
Group Essay Evaluation Assignment
(15 points)
Instructions:
Group members will collaboratively
compose a Reflective Essay & Evaluation of their experiences in the process
of completing the Case Study Project and
Symposium. Essay should be
approximately two-four pages, and properly headed up with name of team, and
team member names, class/instructor (SPCH 225/B. Larson), title of assignment
and date. Use descriptive language and specific examples from Rothwell and your
group experience to show me, rather than tell me. Generalizations and vague responses will not
be sufficient – so think deeply and specifically about your group’s process. Please
include information about how each group member participated in the composition
of the essay!
Please staple your
Participation/Preparation/Attendance information to the back of your essay.
************************Essays and
Group Forms are due on May 3rd **********************************
Remember
- Reflection is Not:
·
Feedback
on the activity - “great,” “bad,” “fun,” “too hard,” “too easy.”
·
Feedback
on the participants.
·
How
the activity “should” have been planned to meet your needs.
·
A
summary of what was done - “we did this, that, and the other thing” (recall,
describe).
Reflection Involves Use of “I” and
“We” Statements:
·
Express
your feelings - emotional statements are okay.
·
Engage
the content - intellectual analysis of the assignment.
Questions to guide your Reflective Group Essay:
Final Questions: What questions about the issue were answered by your
group, and which were not? What new
questions did your project generate? What did you learn – specifically – about
small group communication?
