Homework 9: Reflect

Individually, write a ~1,000 word statement, writing a paragraph about each question:

• What worked well about your team's process? Why?
• What did not work well about your team's process? Why?
• What tasks and activities did you personally do well? Why do you think you excelled at them?
• What tasks and activities did you personally do poorly? Why do you think you struggled with them? What might might you do to improve in the future?
• What role did HowToo strategies play in your individual and team success? If none, explain why it was not useful, and what other approaches you used to support your problem solving. If some role, explain what role it played and why it was valuable.
• Does anyone on your team deserve recognition as an MVP (Most Valuable Player) (optional)? The MVP should epitomize some combination of leadership, open-mindedness, honesty, resilience, resourcefulness, and persistence. Describe to examples of a time this teammate exhibited these qualities.
• Are there any teammates you would like to "fire" (optional)? (If everyone on a team fires the same person, they lose 10 points off their final grade). Justification for firing include major failures to fulfill the duties of their roles:
  • A project manager failing to manage the project.
  • A designer that didn't design.
  • A developer that didn't build.
  • Any teammate that minimally contributed to the team's goals.
  • Any teammate that was severely unresponsive, uncommunicative, or unreliable.

Grading criteria

Covering the topics above is enough for the full 5 points. If you don't cover all of the criteria above, we'll give partial credit proportional to what you cover. Because of the short timeline to write this reflection, we will not evaluate the quality of your writing, just its content. (That said, your work should be clear enough to be understood).
