Maret Spaces Visual Essay Assessment

Take ONE hour to answer these questions.  This is not an essay; these are just public notes.  Write in phrases, go stream of consciousness – whatever communicates the most effectively in this amount of time.
1.    Describe with specific detail the group’s greatest moments in “creative collaboration.”  Refer to the “Creative Collaboration” sheet to see characteristics of when that is happening.  For example, did you achieve “flow?”  After doing that, describe the times when the group did not work up to its full potential.  How and why do you think these instances happened?  What principles of “creative collaboration” were not upheld that resulted in that dysfunction?
·         Good job coming up with idea, as a whole.
·         Discuss idea and following through idea
·         Trouble working as a group outside of class
·         Open to other participants ideas
·         Trouble with getting a concrete idea
·         Found it hard to complete the assignment with our given area
·         People did different amount of work
2.    If you think of leadership as an activity (not only as a characteristic), describe when you were trying to lead.  What strategies did you use and were they effective.  Describe a moment when someone else in your group showed strong leadership.
·         I tried to lead in the sense of the pictures and getting the best pictures to use for the powerpoint.
·         Even though the powerpoint did not look like I intended it to due to lack of communication, I had an idea at mind and took pictures to show the differences of race and gender and how this changes throughout the day. Since the team wasn’t on the same page this idea was not portrayed.
3.    Looking at the “Commitments to Self” and “Commitments to Group” sections of the “Creative Collaboration” sheet, what were your greatest challenges in being a part of this group?
·         I think the greatest challenge was formulating an idea from the senior lounge. There was not a lot of space and was only full during lunch so showing different race and gender topics was very difficult.
·         Also the lack of communication amongst our group caused problems as well.
