Reflection9-Hayley

We have just finished our last country brief, so I thought I would talk about the experience of writing them, and working with a group. Over time, our group created a strategy that we thought worked really well. The first Tuesday, our group would break up which parts we would research, and then work together to find all the necessary information. The following Tuesday, we would write up our research and put it together into one Country Brief. After starting the power points, we realized that they were very helpful because they helped us figure out what was needed to say to the group. Before everyone started doing a powerpoint, it could be confusing what we wanted to say. Plus, the other groups didn't necessarily understand the information we were presenting. By using a powerpoint, we were ABLE to focus what each person was going to say, as well as make clear the information we thought was important. Over the weeks, we developed the best way for us to get our work done, because we are always finished before Wed. night. I had a great experience with my Bahrain group, discovering that Bahrain is not as equal as I thought it was, as well as learning to cooperate and coordinate with a group in college.
