Two case vignettes were discussed during the last class session. I was assigned to case #2 along with few other group members. Coincidentally, the case was about the responsibilities as a member in a group project. As a group, we agreed that Sophia is an irresponsible person. Sophia never picks up her phone calls or answers the emails that her group mates sent her. Furthermore, when her group mates arranged to meet up on the weekends, she demands that she will not give up “her time”. Also, Sophia uses the excuse that she has to work on the weekdays and because of that she can’t find the time to get together with her group mates.
I think that what Sophia needs is a better time management and be more responsible. It is understandable that working while taking classes on the weekdays may be a little difficult to arrange a meeting with the group members. However, Sophia has the weekends to make up for it. Sophia at least should give up some of her time for the sake of the project, if she really cares about it that is (doesn’t seems like she really care much). Her group members are also giving up “their time” to meet up with Sophia on the weekends. In brief, Sophia needs to grow up and stop being selfish and think for herself only.
