Group Work

Class this week made me think. I looked around the classroom and watched everyone interacting with eachother. We didn't all know eachother in the beginning of the semester, but if a stranger were to walk into the classroom one would think that the students in the classroom were the best of friends, and knew eachother well. I believe that we've all made this kinship with eachother, and gained this friendship for several differant reasons. Since the first day of class, our professor had us engage in group work that had to do with the asking our other classmates questions and getting to know eachother. Another reason why our class room is so comfortable to be in, is the fact that we are all friendly people. I think our classroom is so friendly also because we all share one fear, well sort of fear, of getting up in front of a group of people and talking. This is also a communication class, so we are all communicating on a weekly basis, and maybe thats what our professor strived to do with our class, to make us feel comfortable enough to communicate with one another, not only properly, but in a friendly matter. This idea, and to give us a little extra boost of self esteem, self confidence, by feeling comfortable in this class room, and to make us feel it's okay to communicate our feelings and ideas.
