Moon Exercise

This week we did an exercise in class dealing with our opnion of importance when stranded on the moon. We were given a list of 15 items that we could take with us, and we had to rank them from the most important to the least important. First we ranked them as an individual. Then we got together within our group and ranked them, then as a class compared how we ranked the items. It was very interesting the way that some people in the class ranked things. When I looked at the list, I thought about just myself taking these items and getting to the space station. But what I didn't think about was finding a way for all of the other people stranded to get back to the space station as well. I looked at this as supplies most important for me and what they could be used for, instead of how they can be used as a group. I began relfeting back on previous groups that I have worked in, and realize that I have the tendancy to do this sometimes, and I need to stop and take the time to think about how can I help the group rather than myself sometimes.

As far as our group project goes, David secured our spot in the Stewart Center and we are now just waiting to start advertising. We will be getting together as a group this week to perfect our flyer and start putting them up around campus. We also hope to get a facebook group created as well. As of now, things for our project are running smoothly.

  1. Good reflexivity on your own position versus the group's.
