********************************************************************

I really enjoyed this class, and I am glad that I decided to take it. The inter-group dynamics were phenomenal, and I thoroughly enjoyed the readings that I had time to read. Even though working within the groups was a trying experience, I wouldn't of arranged the class in any other way because the issues I had to deal with within my group were personally challenging and a test of my social interaction skills. While I wish we received professional training, I now feel comfortable finding that service elsewhere, and dealing with the conflict within my group gave me experience in how to negotiate with different personality styles. While I had a hard time writing the first paper, the comments that I received back on that paper and the other papers were very helpful and painfully critical. Greg has a way of telling you exactly what you knew you needed to improve on but was hoping no one would call you on it. Specifically, he made me aware of my tendency to not delve deep enough into a subject I'm not necesarily that interested in. He helped me to challenge my previous assumptions and helped me to notice other ways of approaching a conflict or problem. Even though this class meet for three hours at a time, I felt that he did a great job of keeping the conversation interesting, and I can't help but wish the class meet more often so that we could of had more time to discuss some of the issues.
