Let's Make a Deal!

When trying to come to a decision about how we wanted to handle our test grades i took an accommodating approach. i think that after we got the curve i felt super lucky and would have been fine if it was just that. so when people wanted more it was not so important to me but i could understand why it would be. also when people were trying to take parts of the test away i was against it only because i know that people have different ways of learning and testing. to take parts away was just not going to be fair to some peoples strengths and weaknesses.
In the class i feel like there was a lot of people who were in "compete to win" and "Avoidance" modes. many of the people who ended up in the from of the class and took charge were compete to win. they wanted all that they could get that would help them. i saw a few other people who were trying to get something fair for everyone.
I'm not sure that one method would have been any better for ME personally to take. i think that if there had been a more powerful leader and more people thinking of others. more people in an accommodation mind set. i personally think that when you start thinking of  how to be fair to other people and what they need is when you get the most. i think that in our situation that would have been the best thing to do. i think that a collaborative approach would have taken too much time and would have made things to tense.
