new year, new trimester, new group dynamics

With the start of the new year there is a new trimester. I have now come in the tird trimester of my six trimester PGDM course. one of the imporant part of the course is the group activities. in each subject we have to form groups of 3-6 members. in first trimester we did not know each other very well but i was lucky to be able to form a group with prafful prashant and pallavi. it was the core group n many subjects and we gelled well with each other. 

In the second trimester there eas a falling out between praful prashant and pallvi. as a result pallavi was in only one of our groups. we took on murli and krishabh and the 5 of us were constant. we even had a group of 5 for those subjects which required a group of 6. we had excellent division of labour. for example for the 10 om cases they were divided into 2 case each this helped us in also concentrating on our studies as all the time was not spent in doing all the group tasks. we were the best group in marketing so mush so that the other groups were jeolous of our success and tried to copy our methods. one of them even challenged us in OM saying that the marketing teacher is soft on us but the OM sir who was known to be very strict will not give us marks. we prooved them wrong and got good marks in OM also.
in this trimester there was a shift in the policies of the teacher and they insisted on roll no wise groups. in HRM we had made our own groups but some people wnt to maam saying that there were some people who do not work and they do not want them in there groups. others did not want them too so the groups became roll no wise. in eco maam said that the groups had to be of 5 members with 1 or 2 girls in them compulsarily so again we had to split our core group and now prashant is in a different group and rashi has come in his place. in ecom there are groups of 3 roll no. wise. he upside is that there are different groups for diferent subjects
