End of Simulation
As this is the official end of the simulation, i thought I'd try discussing what i learned from it. First of all, more than anything, this simulation was about working with other people. We got to learn what each member was like, as well as their strengths and weaknesses. I think it would be interesting if in the next semester, we were able to interview and hire team members from the pool of the whole class. For instance, each classmate might go up in front of everyone and say something about themselves and field a few questions. That process might have made this whole experience a lot different. It would have changed the team dynamics as we would have been able to pick people who we thought we could work with, and also affect how we review our teammates, knowing that we had a hand in selecting them. Nevertheless, although this project has been very people intense, it still felt like our relationship had less to do with doing well in the simulation, and more to do with getting everyone to do a fair share of the work. Perhaps that should have been mentioned in class, or perhaps the simulation should be adjusted so that it relies more on having a strong team.
