What I've learned, Favorite/Least Favorite Thing

What I have learned throughout this class is that how we conduct ourselves through verbal and nonverbal communication, through virtual communication all goes hand in hand and contributes to how a group operates overall as a whole. The diversity of a group is also important because diversity is needed in small to large groups because if we all were alike and though alike, the end results and the process of things would not be as interesting and cohesive. I have relearned that "two heads are better than one." My favorite thing about this class was all the chapters because I thought they were all fascinating to read and gave me a better picture and more clear standing on how vital different forms of communication are in small groups or groups in genera. I don't really have a least favorite thing about this class because all the chapter readings to making blog posts and reading and commenting on our my classmates' blogs helped me to have a better understanding on the readings and concepts. I also found the two assignments on the movie analysis and small group observation project to be very helpful and beneficial because they helped me to realize how and why people interact and act in groups and how in the movie I analyzed "Mean Girls" why the main character changed herself to fit in a small group because she wanted to be accepted. In the end, she realized what she was communiating, the message she was sending to everyone, only hurt herself and learning to be her was what mattered most.
