The experiences of group assignment writing

Assignment group

Ms June
Mr Tony
Mr Nyo Min

Our group was quite small but it was a little diversity in forming. In the group, there were two genders and two nationalities. In addition, all team members have different occupations. All have different walks in the life.

All team members are gentle and patient. As a result there is no problem or conflict in the group. Although, it doesn’t mean we don’t have debate and several points of views in group discussions. Like other group, we had numerous ideas, but we tried to combine all of ideas to reach consensus decisions. All members have negotiation skills and apply these skills to get one solid decision.

During the assignment writing, we tried to observe the organization we have selected to use as a case study. As I mentioned above, all members have jobs and their jobs drove away from Chiang Mai, Thailand. So, it was difficult to meet each other out of classes. With the support of hi-teach, such as internet, cell phone, we could communicate frequently whenever we need to discuss. In the case, we used “Delphi method” to obtain reasonable decision and consensus decision.

As the organization is the NGO I am working, I could provide all information the group needed. We were afraid of personal biases from me, so I allowed other two members to identify the problems the organization encountered. They made some commends without my wording. Then, I also express my opinion and suggestions on these problems. Besides I also introduces other members how the organization is solving the problems to get idea and to analysis the solutions are good or not.

For writing the assignment, I prepared for the case study. Mr. Tony and Ms June implemented data mining. Later, Mr. Tony merge all data to get draft one. Finally all members read the draft and edited to get fair copy.

While writing the assignment, we can learn individual trait, value, culture, eagerness, etc each other. In addition, we helped open the eyes of other from different concepts.
We worked together and developed method how to listen small voices by using “Brain writing”. It was good for who is shine to express his/her opinions.
In deed, we developed our consensus decision after gave up some of our own point of views and tried to see other people spot. It may be “Empathy”.

I can state all team members get new ideas, new experience because of the assignment writing. I am sure other members also enjoyed these experiences.

Sincerely,

Nyo Min

I intend the readers to aware about some points of Thai culture.
