My Role Within Our Group

Upon reading the anonymous feedback I received from my peers in our Group Dynamics course, I have realized my role in the group as a whole. I definitely seem to be a opinion seeker and giver according to my peers. Many of my peers noticed that I am not afraid to ask questions and that I give very valid input when necessary. Although I somewhat disagree with many of their assessments that I am shy and quiet, I guess that shows that I have more confidence in myself than others seem to recognize or notice. That confidence is definitely shown though in my ability to ask questions and give valid input towards a situation. Since I joined the class quite a few weeks after everyone else, it was a bit hard to fit into the whole scheme of things at first, but after a while, I began to become acquainted with the group and its members and therefore felt more comfortable offering feedback and input to the process. Someone also pointed out what I knew: that I had made substantial contributions to the “content” group as well, offering up many different ideas of what we could do with the coursewiki. My knack for creativity is evident in comments from my peers where they blatantly say I am very creative and have a lot of good ideas. Were this a group where we actually held elections for leadership positions, I would have surely ran for an officer position. I do tend to speak a lot more when I know people have their complete focus on me, as opposed to when there is no power structure at all. Even if I was not at the top of the power structure, I would speak more than I do in class simply because there is a power structure. I like hearing opinions from everyone and giving my opinion on every issue it is necessary to provide an opinion on.
