Group Project - UW-Green Bay



Group Project 2

Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to analyze the communication behavior of an actual task group.

Method: You may use techniques discussed in class to analyze the effectiveness of the various groups.

Requirements: Your analysis of the task group will consist of two basic parts:

• Your group will make an oral presentation.

• One week after your oral presentation, your group should submit a written report that includes all supporting material in a properly indexed fashion.

Evaluation: Your group project will be evaluated on the basis of three factors: 1) the oral presentation, 2) the written work, and 3) individual ratings given by your fellow group members.

The criteria for evaluating the project are:

1. Writing and presentation style;

2. Illustration and support of the key ideas;

3. Theoretical assimilation & creativity;

4. Understanding of key theoretical terms;

5. Depth of analysis; and

6. Breadth and scope of project.

Starting Points: Your analysis boils down to three basic questions:

1. How should effectiveness be defined for this particular group?

2. What degree of effectiveness did this group display?

3. What communication factors help explain the degree of the group's effectiveness?

You will have to provide support for all your assertions that can be gleaned from the readings, class discussions, your own creative ideas, and the use of more formal analysis procedures. Moreover, if the group is deemed ineffective in some way you should suggest reasonable alternatives.
