Your Initial Discussion Thread Is Due On Day 3 Thursday And You Have

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. You are required to read Chapter 9 of your textbook (Feenstra, 2013), the article "One Hundred Years of Group Research: Introduction to the Special Issue" (Forsyth, 2000), and review Instructor Guidance and Announcements.

In this discussion, you will consider your own experiences in a group setting, synthesizing your experiences with course concepts and research findings. You should express your personal stance—whether you love or hate group work—and support your view with examples from your own experience, relating them to concepts such as brainstorming, groupthink, or other relevant theories.

You are expected to explain how you might leverage this knowledge to influence group dynamics and improve group functioning. Write a post of at least 250 words by Day 3 (Thursday).

Additionally, respond to at least two peers who hold a different perspective from yours by Day 7 (Monday). Early posting is encouraged to promote active discussion. Your replies should be insightful, referencing your experiences and offering additional suggestions or reflections.
