The 36th chamber of death

Oh man, the decision making experiment was an experience I have never encountered before in a classroom. I have never seen such fury and conflict between students based on a single test grade. If the professor wasn't in the classroom, disagreements probably would've turned into a UFC rumble match.
In terms of my behavioral response to this chaotic mess, I would have to go with collaborating at first but as the situation becomes worse, I chose to be an advoidance and withdraw myself from the class. I decided that I will pretty much agree on any type of proposal just so I don;t need to deal with all the rukus.
Is there another way to achieve a better solution without all the chaos?
In my opinion, I don't think so. As long as time is limited to merely 30 minutes, solutions can not all be agreed upon because the class is just too big. It is human nature to see the situation that benefits "ourselves" the most. The average score was a 69 and the hiest exam grade was a 97. The range between the class mean and the highest score is too great for everyone to agree upon a solution that will benefit every group equally.

Egg-cellent disaster

The egg experiment was definitely a challenge. Our group did not skip any steps. we followed each step carefully making, by brainstorming multiple alternatives in creating the egg protector. Unfortunately we did not succeed in achieving our objective. One of the reasons why we failed was because, in my opinion, too many variables to consider. For instance, it would've helped if we knew the weight and the actual size of the egg before hand so we can better estimate the impact factor therefore coming up with different strategies and ideas. Overall, our team performed very well, came up with many alternative ideas and executed the plan efficiently.
