Decision Making

I choose to take the Avoidance method for many different reasons. First of all I knew that people were going to go crazy because their were too many students in the class. Everyone had a different idea of how they wanted to do something. I didn't want to go bother and go crazy by going from student to student and have to yell on the top of my lungs.

Second of all I knew that by the end of the class comes people will start relizing we don't have too much time and will come to a decision. 50 percent of the class failed anyway because the average score was 68. So most of the students would have their grade on their minds and make the best descion for me and the rest of us that choose the Avoidance method. I don't think I would have choosen any other way because I am a very quiet person.

Group Planning

In my Group I think we all did a good job in the 5 steps of planning. Once the planning process began me and my group quickly started to form ideas. All of us atleast came to one idea and then the others would try to find flaws in them. Time wise we were good too. We had time left over. We try to use all the resources we got to the maximum forexample the tape and the straws.

We decided to make a shell that would surround the egg completly. While we all contributed in making the shell. I was cutting the tape. Sumone eles was making the shape for the straws and two people were putting it together. Even though we failed in our goal to protect the egg from breaking I think we were still successful in working as a group. You can't be successful everytime.
