First Assignment
The first assignment was the most helpful to me. I felt this because not only did we have to collaborate as a group and research the subject we had to also do our own paper on the subject. My group did a subject on which diet myths were not true. This was helpful to me personally because I play football and we are often watching our weights, whether they are light or heavy, and have to adjust our weight to what the coaches want them at. Even though the one page individual summary we each wrote was extra work it really helped me to understand the article even more. I learned a lot through this assignment that i didn't know before. The second assignment was good also but when you split the work up not everyone understands all the aspects of the article because you just look for the part(s) you are doing.

Dear Big Cat,
ReplyDeleteI think that you provided good reasons to why you like the first assignment. I agree with you in that the first assignment really taught us how to work with a group. Although it is difficult to get the same sounding paper out of 5 different people, it is nice that we don't have to write the whole paper by ourselves. I actually enjoy collaborating with my group and I could imagine that both assignments would be difficult to complete without your team members. Also, you make a good point about learning to research in a group as well. Good work Big Cat! :)

Dear Mr. Big Cat,
ReplyDeleteI also, found the first assignment to be the most helpful to me. I found that working as a group on a project or assignment really helps build the characteristics that we will be using for the rest of our lives. Some of these characteristics are cooperation, leadership, and respect. These types of things can be carried into our future work places when dealing with coworkers and bosses. Also, being able to apply your research topic to your already everyday life must have been really neat. I personally did not like the extra one page personal response paper that we wrote because I felt like I already agreed with what our group paper said.
