Please Sir, May We Have Some More?

To get an A is the ultimate goal of every student. However not all of us act on it. Some pretend that all we want is to pass, and some eagerly do anything and everything to get that A. I fall in the middle, I want to do as well as I can, but not kill myself to perform it. Once we received out tests and saw what kind of grades out efforts produced, we all wanted better grades, and fortunately the professor created the opportunity to do so.

My role in the process was to support the whole class. I followed the collaborative method because there were several areas of the class that became groups and came up with some ideas. Then a few people stood up and decided to lead the class. I believe that they incorporated collaboration to get what they believed was the best way. Although I had a different approach to the situation, I agreed with what was proposed. I feel that my agreeing to give the class a 14 point bonus, the professor was nice. He could have just done the curve and not the extra credit assignment.

By the end of our time, the most important thing was to come up with one solution. Some people accommodated themselves to what was best for the class. For some reason, one person decided to say that he didn’t agree with the almost passed solution. I have no idea why he didn’t like it, but he was willing to sacrifice everyone’s happiness and points because he didn’t like or understand something about the solution.
