Marit,

I like to ask the following question, which goes nicely with Peter Balan's introduction:


What statement best describes how to be successful?


a)      a. Accomplish a purpose by doing things you like to do

b)      b. Accomplish a purpose by doing the least amount of work possible

c)      c. Accomplish a purpose by relying on your talents and knowledge

d)      d. Accomplish a purpose by waiting for and using opportunities

e)      e. Accomplish a purpose by doing things you don't like to do

Then show the following for additional discussion:


Successful [people] have a purpose strong enough to make them form the habit of doing things they don't like to do in order to accomplish the purpose they want to accomplish.


Failures are influenced by the desire for pleasing methods and are inclined to be satisfied with such results as can be obtained by doing things they like to do.


"The Common Denominator of Success" - Albert E.N. Gray

For my discipline, a more engineering  (or any project/design) based question is:

Which is the most important for a project to be successful?

  1.  Design Quality
  2.  Communication
  3.  Constructability
  4.  Cost Effective
  5.  Timeliness

Hope this helps.

Jennifer

Subject: First day application


Does anyone have a good "first day" application that also can help with team cohesion? My students have been asked to read the syllabus and following Team formation  and team introductions tomorrow we will do I-RAT and T-RAT based on the syllabus. Wanted to add an application  - not necessarily related to the class topic (anthropology of religion) - but perhaps related to learning and team work - so the students are introduced to the application format on the same day. Lacking creativity at the moment and thought I would ask...
