problem solving

This week in class was came at us quick it seemed. We started a problem solving task force and was given a scenerio with only 28 hours to come up with a solution, and on top of that we were assigned a whole new group to work with. And on top of that, we are evaluating another member in the class over their group work. It just seemed like too much, with other classes and assigments and all. But our new group worked very well in putting together a solution proposal with minimal time. It was a good taste of what the real world will be like, having quick approachign deadlines and needing to get them done. We came up with a solid proposal and presentation as a group and we are ready to present it tomorrow in class. It was intresting though evaluating another member of the class. It is different being on the other side looking in, thinking about who is contributing and how they are doing that. It got me thinking about it when I was working in our own group as well. I feel that it made me put forth more of an effort when working in my group.
