April 29 Case Discussion Teams
Your
facilitator for this week has assigned a case for you to read. If you
don't know which case--then contact one of your team members. Be sure
to come fully prepared to discuss the case.
Some of you have asked for a description of the devil's advocate role. Here goes--
Devil’s Advocate
- Remains
on guard against “groupthink” (when the pressure to reach group
consensus is so great that the individual members surrender their own
opinions to avoid conflict and view issues solely from the group’s
perspective).
- Ensures that all
arguments have been heard, and looks for holes in the group’s
decision-making process, in case there is something overlooked.
- Keeps
his or her mind open to problems, possibilities, and opposing ideas.
Often presents opposing ideas in the form of a question.

Reflection Essay
Due Tuesday Feb 23
Keeping
in mind that true strength and learning are found not in perfection,
but in understanding our own limitations—take a look at your
informative speech video and review your informative speech
feedback from peers and instructor. Remember we are trying to learn
from our experiences, keep doing what is working well, and not make the
same mistakes. Write a 1-page double-spaced essay
on what you learned from viewing your video and from the feedback.
Include the following— (10 points)
- what did you do well that you want to continue to do?
- what specifically do you plan to work on to improve your next presentation?
- what one thing will make the biggest difference?
- how do you plan to make improvements?
- what is your biggest fear about giving your next speech?
Hi
students, It is one thing to miss a day of class every couple weeks or
so. It is yet another to show up to class one or two days every couple
of weeks. Some of you have not been in class to participate in your
feedback cluster and some of you have far exceeded attendance policies.
If you plan to complete the quarter I expect you to show up to class on
a regular basis. Just a reminder as we are nearing the last day to drop
w/ "W".
Sample Survey
Tues-Review the sample survey and prepare one based on your own speech topic.
-Place your name and class hour at the top of the page.

To what extent do you agree with this proposition? 1-2-3-4-5-6...10 Why?

-Have someone review your survey to see that it makes sense to him/her.
-Print out 30 copies to distribute in class. We will fill surveys out
in class and return them to you before the end of the class hour. I
need one blank copy of your survey to grade.
-First week speakers will hand out their surveys on Wednesday of this week.
-Second week speakers will hand out their surveys on Thursday of this week.
