That was quite an entertaining assignment this week, which was called A Team Problem Solving Exercise. According to the results, our team is the most effective one from our class (with 32% of team effectiveness). What's interesting to mention here is that no one got a better score than the Team Score (which was 22), the lowest one was 28 (while the average is 32.4). That tells that the team working shows amazingly better results than an individual work, of course, I mean only our group of 5. Actually, it worth emphasising that not every member of the group contributed to this task as much as they could have. In fact, the core work was done by Eugin and me, and sometimes Arina was trying to question some of our decisions. But Michel didn't even understand the task. We all tried to help him, but the thing was he didn't really care much. So I told him just to put numbers randomly as he likes, so he put them without knowing what he was doing. That's a pity, we might have got even a better score then. Another problem was lack of clearness of the conditions which we were assumed to be in. We all understood that the ship sank down, but somehow we survived and now freezing on SE shore of inlet. But we couldn't point our fingers at the exact location of the place on the map we were given, it's hard even to recognise where is water and where is land. That was disappointing as well as lack of details in the description of the situation. In addition, fonts were not that easy to read first, but when we started recognising words, we were stuck with the problem of our vocabulary shortage. There were quite a few words we all did not know meanings of. But nevertheless, we succeeded as a team and that makes me proud of my group.
