Which Strategy to Choose?

Although our egg, Pebbles, didn't do too well after free falling from Juelz's hands, I can say that a fair share of planning went into Pebbles' safety.
After Professor Kurpis laid out the goals for us, in effect completing step one of the planning process. Step two of the plannning process was not completed as easily by our group. We got off on the right step by attempting to assign positions to our group members. I was assigned "team leader", but my position as well as my group members' positions were quickly lost.
On to step three, we did better than expected. There had to be at least five to six plans that our group came up with.
It's during step four that our group ran into problems. With so many plans and alternative solutions, our group could not collectively decide on one plan. Half of our  members were voting on a separate plan that we had not decided "officially" on.
When it came to step five, we had a tad trouble implementing the plan we had chosen because it seems we didn't fully understand our own design.
Overall, I think that if we had enough time, we would have created a better design that every member in our group could agree one hundred percent on.

  1. Poor pebbles could've had more to live for if we'd only had more time, lol. One thing is for sure, we definitely worked well as a team and each member contributed really well to this activity. I'm honestly glad we didn't really take the "title-assigning" thing too seriously because we had worked so well together with the responsibilities being divided up equally that having a leader probably wouldn't have made a difference. All in all, I had a blast and I can't wait to see what else Professor K has in store for us. :)

  2. I think all of our groups had a little trouble sticking to plans and dividing up roles within our groups. This is something that we will all have to work on as it seemed to be a problem that we all faced. Overall, I think the activity was a lot of fun and we all did a great job, even though none of our eggs survived.

  3. I think that to all groups dividing the tasks and implementing plans were the most difficult steps in planning process. Even though none of our eggs survived, I think that if we were given more time we would succeeded since we all were taking right steps. Overall, the activity was a lot of fun and a lesson that working under time limitations may be very challenging.
