Assessment Brief and Guidance:

SCENARIO

Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, once said “Coming together is a beginning, staying
together is progress, working together is success.”

You will be assigned to work in the same team of 8-10 students over 6 sessions of the course, from
session 6 to session 11. In each class session, your team will be given a task to implement. This gives
you the opportunity to develop your ability to work with others, based upon the understanding of group
and group dynamics. After completing each task, you should note down a description of your team’s
interactions and an evaluation of the team’s performance.

Your mission is to build an effective team, measured by:


- number of points gained from the achievement of the assigned tasks (given by the lecturer)
- your lecturer’s evaluation of team effectiveness in implementing the course activities; and
- team members’ satisfaction with the work of the team.

Using your notes as raw data, you are required to write a report on your team’s interactions and
performance over the class sessions. The report should include a discussion on how the various
concepts and theories are applied in your team activities as well as your analysis of the team
members’ behaviours and the factors and skills that assist or hinder effective teamwork.

The report should consist of 2 parts: part 1 is a syndicated effort that includes an analysis of and a
reflection on your team’s development and part 2 is a collection of individual team members’ reflective

team situation and an evaluation of how they inform and influence behaviour within your team.
4. An explanation of factors that make your team effective/ ineffective;
5. Motivation of your team
6. A discussion of the relationship between the effectiveness of teamwork and goal achievement in
the workplace;

Part 2 - individual team members’ reflective essays (500 words each) - should cover the
followings:
8. An evaluation of each team member’s performance;
9. A reflection on what you have learned from other team members in light of i) Demonstrate an
understanding of how to cooperate effectively with others; and ii) Apply concepts and
philosophies of organisational behaviour to a given situation.
10. A discussion of the impact you had made on your team and how you might change your
behaviour in teams’ works in the future.
