Finally, we completed the paper, Twelve Angry Men. It was a long process, but I must admit an interesting one and a learning experience. I found it quite interesting to work with three other people on a paper, something I had never done. Every day I would go to the wikki to see what was posted and to my surprise nothing was there. You know the new students are a little anxious to get started. So I decided I would attempt to make my contributions. I was amazed how much time I spend writing, then rewriting my paragraphs to make the sound better or to make sure I got my point across. When my classmates began to make their contributions I found it quite interesting to see how they viewed the same material. Then I got brave and started adding comments to their entries and vice versa. Seeing other classmates thoughts got my thoughts going and I could see things in a different light. It allowed me to make those comments without fear of reprisal. In the end of the paper I did panic because I felt I needed a person to talk to just to confirm everything was on schedule. After two phone calls my fears were put to rest and I had contributed as much as I could. I heard many people in the class comment that they did not like writing the paper as a group, but since I have not been in class in many years it was reassuring to have someone to bounce ideas off and to encourage me.
From this experience I can see that it takes a commitment from each member to be successful. The members must hold up the commitment by submitting their information in a timely manner, meeting the agreed upon deadlines, and compromising to make the project come together. When everyone does all of this you come up with an acceptable project to everyone in the group. I feel that our group did all of this and the end result was a very acceptable grade. We achieved our goal. An A. YES!!!
