In this collaborative activity we used piecewise functions in order to create a functional 3D object. To be honest, this wasn't a nice collaborative activity, actually I believe it is the worst one I've had, but we learn from our mistakes.
We did gave in the activity at the due time but it was chaotic, we had a lot of difficulties to make the final product and join everything, specially because a certain member of the team was eager to change everything because he wasn't satisfied with what we had made and do it all in its own way.
I did participated and did my share of the team, I proposed several ideas of functional objects and graphed them so we could make up a function based on that, however I wasn't able to make the team work together with a cooperative sense and the process slowed since we weren't able to intervene in a constructive way.
I tried to work as the leader and divide the work according to the different abilities on the team (one very good with letters, one very good at drawing, other at expressing mathematical thought) however, the distribution didn't worked because a member of the team was uncomfortable with its place, therefore he tried to "fix" everything we made because in his opinion we weren't doing anything right. Although his intentions were to help us, he stressed and confused us.
Because of this particular member, I assumed the objectives as mine, trying to make our activity work, instead of solving the problem and trying to ask for cooperation.
I accepted several opinions, but I did not include all, I tried my best to give a constructive point of view but it wasn't helpful because not all of the team was listening. Dialogue was not working.
