1. Why did class devolve into chaos??? Since I had to miss that class, due to a doctors appt, I personally don't see how the class would devolve into chaos?.. Only because when I am in class- there is never really a time where we act out of line or aren't logical about things.
2. What could you have done to keep that from happening? If the class bursts out into something- I'm not really sure what I could have done, except put how I felt out there. 
3. Regurgitating ideas you have read is all well and good, but if you cannot apply them, then what is the point? That is a good question. 
4. What can you do to be more mindful of your team buidling decisions and how to actually implement the techniques we have been learning all semester? Make sure to use everyone's input in the team. Communication is key & I think that if we all communicate, we will be able to work well together and get this project done.
5. Is always sticking with people you already know the best solution to forming a good team? Working with people you already know may be human nature and the easiest way to make sure you get a good grade on a project, but remember that you are being assessed in this course not only on the product you create but how you work with your team and apply the techniques we have been covering in class... Unlike other classes, the product in this class is secondary to the process of creating the product. Since I don't really know anyone in the class- I've only had a couple classes with Mark, so I sortof know him. But I think that if you are working with your friends, then at least you know that they won't screw you over on the project.. which is nice :)
6. What did you learn about yourself and team building as a result of what happened in class today? I talked with Mark about the class & I feel like if I did do the "speed dating" thing then people wouldn't really be able to get to know the real me.. only because I would get nervous and prob wouldn't be the best at talking so fast.
7. How should the potential conflict that could erupt based on discussion todayt be handled in a way that allows for the best teams and personal satisfaction for all people? Communication.
8. Instead of just backing down and saying, "Whatever..." what might be a better way to incorporate and include all ideas and styles? Say how you really feel, because if you don't then nobody will be able to just know. Also ease into what your going to say, and then that might make you feel better.
