Recommended: Social media on the democratic processes

For my project, I have selected the project is the College Democrats Club, this club was chosen because of how active they are in the area, both inside and outside of Creighton. This club has regular meetings of at least once a week along with additional meetings with state representatives and other local political figures. Their goal is to provide students with an outlet to become knowledgeable and informed voters who are able to educate and create and environment based off of democratic values. Due to their activity in the communities they will be a prime community to map and will be able to provide the information for this project needed with great ease.

They meet regularly and have consistent communication amongst its students and its leaders. These weekly meetings occur on Wednesdays, every week at 6. During this time, they call in different people from the community to communicate. Going to these meetings regularly helps to access the community on a deeper level. I joined this community during Skutt shutdown, which allowed me full access to the communities meeting times and all other additional information. The community meets in Eppley 210, their first meeting was held in in 212, yet this was a temporary set up and therefore I did not record any information regarding the set up and lay out of the community. After interviewing the executive team, I was able to understand their view from the front of the community, the interview consisted of a short 5 questions asking about lay out of space, use of technology and any observations they had about the communities use of the space. I chose this route of questions because I feel they gave the executive a chance to look at the group a little more analytically and describe their approach to creating the space they desire. I felt it important to ask about technology because of the feel of how technology can impact some groups interactions. During the latest meeting, they even used technology to allow us to call our senators about the new Obama Care Repeal Act going through the senate right

    In this journal entry, I have learnt that neighborhood associations consistently engage in projects, activities, and events that help to create a stronger network connection. Information provided on this journal show that coordinating a large number of individuals remains to be a challenge. However, a smaller group is easier to manage and has the ability to achieve better outcomes. Kunst, Lemmink, and Prins (1998) note that the quality of a network is realized during the selection process of network members.

    In the team project this semester, I intend to contribute to the success of the team in designing, building, and operating a method for dispensing the rings into the boxes and writing functional code for the robot. I am intrigued by the design of a ring dispensing method. In the robot competition last semester, I noticed a certain flaw in most of the robots which dispensed rings. The flaw was that they all used a servo to deliver the ring. If the robot did not properly line up with the box the ring would not land inside of the box. In order to solve this problem, I devised a way for the rings to be dispensed without the need of a servo. By not using a servo, the ring dispensing has to be triggered by the robot lining up with the box

    Roles in the group have changed so much for me and so much for my group members throughout the semester. I thought that when we started going through the stages in our group, the role that we got was going to be the role we will have for the rest of the school semester. But that wasn’t true at all since I found myself changing roles more than once. I found myself fluctuating from being the initiator-contributor, elaborator, and energizer in the group task roles. It was very obvious when I would change from one group task to to another because the characteristics for every role are different and you start acting very different. Some maintenance group roles that I have experienced throughout my time in my group was to be the encourager-supporter,

    Having a good leadership for a team allows the whole team to work efficiently and in a well-organized way. Further, leadership is an important function of management which helps to maximize efficiency and to achieve organizational goals. Since I am a leader for this week, I asked several questions to my group members in order to get specific feedback for my performances. First, my team members said that I am deeply engaging with them and can be reached all the time. I replied all the emails and text messages as soon as I can so that I could figure out all the problems and time conflicts that our team faced to. Also, my group members respond to my leadership as effectively and efficiently. I set up several goals at the beginning of our group discussion, and then allocate different works to each member depended on its interest and ability. Besides that, I also set up the time limit for the group in order to have enough time for me to make the final check and corrections. Therefore, we have a good plan for the whole project and finish it perfectly. However, it is my responsibility to make sure the entire team complete the project on time; I might push my group

The configuration joins intelligent shows, an open community, workshops and casual organising.
