Write a 1500-2500 word paper that describes and analyzes the dynamics of your team in this class. The purpose of this assignment is for you to analyze your team experiences, applying the theories and concepts we have studied.

You should write the paper in the first person and please refer to team members by name. Be assured that no one besides your instructor will see the paper or know its contents, so be candid.

There is no best approach for this paper. You may prefer to use a chronological account of your team dynamics, or you may want to use another approach such as how trust developed – or didn’t – during the 8 weeks (for example). Your approach, and the theories/concepts you discuss, will depend to a great extent on your specific team.

You may find it helpful to review the key concepts and theories week by week, deciding which ones provide the most insight into your particular team’s dynamics.

You will be graded on how well you identify, describe, and analyze the interactions, behaviors, and relationships on your team, using terms, theories, and concepts from this class, as well as grammar, punctuation and spelling. Make sure you proofread!
