10 Jan Additional Key Elements

Week 3 discussion

Groups and Teams

First explain whether or not you think you are a team player or more someone who works better alone. After your own self-rating, go online and do a search on terms such as “team player quiz” or “team player questionnaire.” Report your results and compare with your initial self-ratings. Also, provide the link to the test you found in case any of your classmates want to use it.

Finally, take a look at the Modules 1-2 discussions and the responses from your classmates and assess whether this class has a diverse variety of different personalities and other characteristics, or if you think your classmates generally have similar characteristics. If you and your classmates were all to work at a company for the same manager, do you think this manager would have any easy or hard time managing this group?

Additional Key Elements of the Assignment:

Your Initial Post should occur in a timely manner (by the third day of the module for full timeliness points). Include the original questions along with your initial, informative post. Support your post with information from at least one reference and provide the complete source information (so that your peers can find the article if they wish). Bring in your own personal experiences, as applicable.

Your Subsequent Posts: Read through responses by peers and post responses to at least two classmates’ posts. Bring in ideas/comments and/or research not mentioned yet.

Remember—To receive full credit in this forum, you need to post a minimum of three quality posts (your own initial post, and responses to two classmates). Only one outside source is needed (in the initial post). But in any post, if you borrow ideas/information from other authors, give them credit for their work.
