Decisions Decisions

I chose compromise because I believe that everybody in the class should have the opportunity to benefit from whatever the proposal might be. The students with bad grades should have a chance to raise their grade but should not "over benefit" because it will be unfair for students with good grades. I would say that the best method would have been collaborating because it was absolutely chaotic when everyone tried to speak at once. If we broke up into small groups, every one's voice would be heard. Much better than the screaming that happened in class.

I agree that compromising was the best choice. I believe that this is the fairest decision making choice.

I think that it's a great idea to break up into small groups. Yelling and screaming over one another was not the most efficient way to come to a group decision. This would have been a good idea in the beginning. This way everyone would feel less pressured and those who are more shy than others would have a larger say in the group decision. Sometimes it's hard for those who don't want to speak up to get their feeling out. A prime example of this would be when we finally got down to crunch time and one person did not agree. The class, as a whole, did not know this because the person never said anything. Perhaps if we were in groups we would not of had the problem we did at the last minute of class.
