Group dynamics and interaction

On yesterday we had a good lecture about group dynamics and interaction. These are especially important things when it comes to projects like ours' which includes a lot of innovating and sharing of ideas. In our session we noticed that each group is unique and therefore has different group dynamics and interactions inside it. These can be affected for example with a positive atmosphere that encourages sharing of ideas and opinions and giving constructive feedback.

I have to say that our project has been very lucky getting a project group like us. In our group the ideas are shared with open mind and others opinions are respected. Somehow we've managed to bypass the usual "stormy" phase which can come after the group starts working together. I guess that our group has so positive and work-oriented people that we have a great chance to survive this sailing trip without storms and reefs, even though countering these shouldn't be afraid of. In terms of learning these situations are usually the best places to notice something new about yourself or others!


As Pedro mentioned earlier, the project's manufacturing phase is now going on. After yesterday it again seems that we will be able to have a haptic coin within our hands by the Easter-holiday, but let's not count our chickens before they are hatched...
