Do you
feel that your voice is being adequately represented in your group project? In
what ways? Are there ways in which you feel your voice is being overlooked or
is missing? Explain. How do you feel you might best assert that voice, or do
you think your “voice” is incompatible with your group project? Explain.
I do
feel that my voice is being represented so far in our group project. We are doing our project on the
concentrations within the English Department with each us taking one of them
and one of us taking the introduction.
Although my major is Writing and Literacy, I was given Literature. That’s ok, it’s giving me the chance to
explore that concentration a little bit which I wouldn’t have otherwise
done. I enjoy reading but I dislike
English literature which I am totally blaming on having to read Beowulf in high
school…LOL. As to my voice being
overlooked, I am feeling a bit of that.
In all fairness, I missed the first chat session as I was dealing with a
bad Ethernet card here but I read the chats and the information on the Wiki
page and felt good about what was expected of me. When we got into the chat this week, there
was quite a bit of bickering between some about things that I thought had been
addressed last week. Half the members
were involved in it and the other half were asking questions and I, for one,
had asked questions that were just lost in the bickering. I resorted to sending an email to the members
during the chat. This at least got my
questions acknowledged. I don’t think my
voice is incompatible at all. I think it
is a large project and there was a little confusion but I just think that good,
bad or ugly, you can’t second guess each decision each time we get together as
a group. Once a decision is made on the
scope of the project, we need to work with it and move forward. I think, in time, it will all work out.
