It was fun watching classmates deciding what to do with the test results. First, I didnt believe that professor Kurpis really let us decide what to do with the test because usually even if professors curve, they themselves come up with a decision. So I thought it was some kind of a jock. But after 20 minutes of waiting, I realized that the professor really let us do whatever we wanted to do with the test results. I personally "used" the accommodation way to handle this decision making conflict. I simply allowed others to come up with the decision because i was satisfied with my results. I only needed a curve applied to my my grade in order to get an A, and it was already decided that we want a curve in the beginning of the class. So i thought i should let other people who got lower grades to decide what is the best for them.The most widely used method for handling decision making conflicts was the compromise. Our emerged leaders were trying to come up with one best final decision that would benefit everybody. I saw some people were using avoidance way :) and avoid or withdraw from the process. They thought because of different opinions and preferences the class is not going to come up with one proposition that everyone will like. Some even tried to leave :) I think the class overall succeeded in this decision making process and came with with one final proposition that everyone liked. The only suggestion i would give is to listen more carefully to everybody's opinions. there were some people who had great ideas that were not considered at all. Also, i think we should have just voted on every option at the beginning of the class to get the results sooner (what we only realized we should do at the end).
