The past couple of weeks during the month of February our CAS 138T class was separated into four groups to present Deliberation Projects. My group chose to deliberate on the college affordability crisis. The first week or two of the project focused on choosing our topic, finding research and sources to support our argument, come up with three approaches as potential solutions, and decipher which member in our group will have what role. After all these aspects of the project was finalized we met in the library to record, finalize the powerpoint, and create questions for the deliberation. My group presented our deliberation last allowing us to watch each and every other group before us. I found this very beneficial and was able to learn from watching my peers. To state what specifically went well throughout the project was collaboration amongst my group members. Each member conducted research for their approach or introduction role and did so well and efficiently. This collaboration and teamwork allowed us to have success when it was time to present on this past Tuesday. We each contributed by asking questions to the class and providing good feedback to concerns and questions. I found the project to be much easier with a group of people who all contribute. In terms of what could have been better throughout the project would have to be engagement from class members. I understand that often times people do not have much to contribute but it can be daunting when asking a question to get no response. But that could be better on everyone’s part, even for myself when other groups are presenting. However, overall this was a good project and done well and I feel not just my group did a great job presenting but all the other groups as well.
