Wow, that was some class. Iv'e never had in all of my academic years, including high-school, such an intense class. First of all, the situation the professor put us into, was unique by itself: we had to determine our own grade and the terms of the next exam. It started good, with less arguments and more order, but the less time we had to decide, the more the chaos grew and the students were yelling all sorts of things.
The thing that bothered me the most was the general lack of respect and that some students let their ego to interfere with their decision making. That sort of egotistical behaviour is understandable when a person is by him/herself, but when you are responsible for the group's majority common interest, you have to neglect your own ambitions and try to be part of the team, and help reaching the goal which the majority of the people in the group want. These are the attributes of a true leader, and some people did not act like that, which was very disappointing.
But I'm not guilt free. I chose the avoidance method, and I just obsereved on what is going on. This is not how a leader acts, and in the future, I need to step up for the group, instead of taking the passive path of behaviour. At the end we got our desirable result, but we can improve on how to reach the results we desire.
