Q2: What are the methods for creative thinking?

Indicate the steps of a brainstorming

process.
1) Methods for creative thinking:
+ Thinking outside of the box.
+ Ask questions such as: “What if…?” or “Supposing…?”
+ Ask the same question many times and find different answer each time.
+ Combine some of the features of two different objects or ideas.
+ Set a goal to find at least 5-10 ideas for a subject. This will make the brain work and
explore new perspectives.

2) The steps of a brainstorming process:

+ Create the diverse environment among the participants. Try to include people from
different backgrounds, perspectives to add more creativity to the process.
+ Identify the problem.
+ Gather ideas as many as possible.
+ Capture all the ideas publicly.
+ Sort the ideas.
+ Come to the conclusion and make action plan for the group.

Q3: In your opinion, what stage is your team at. Explain why
- According to the “Tuckman stages of group development”, I believe that our team is at
the “Norming” stage. We are now working as a team quite smoothly as we finished some
demos for the group’s video. The members know what they have to deal with. We
usually have two meetings every week in order to update the process. We are all
conscious of the important final examination so we will do our best to deliver our product
to the teachers.

Q4: While you are making a presentation, the following unexpected situations may occur:
a. Some listeners left b. Some listeners ask questions right now. What would you do in each
of these situations?
1) Some listeners left:
- Other people may leave the room due to some work they have to deal with and they just
want to keep the room remain silent. Keep on speaking as long as there are still many
people willing to listen and we just have to follow what we have practiced before the
presentation.

2) Some listeners ask questions right now:

 - It is good that the listeners pay attention and want to know more about the subject. But it
is a must to keep all the questions be asked after we have finished our presentation. We
could kindly ask them to keep the questions in their mind and start questioning when it
comes to the “Questions and Answers” time.

Q5: Please point out the negative points in the presentation:

+ Not saying hello and no introduction to the topic.

+ Adjusting her "next button" for multiple times.
+ Words animation takes too long to present sentences.
+ The color of the slides sometimes make it difficult for the audience to see.
+ Doesn't allow the audience to ask questions.

Q6: How to become a good leader?

+ Keep a positive attitude.
+ Work, learn and teach other members instead of giving orders.
+ Be confident in order to help others build up their confidence to speak.
+ Be a good listener.
+ Be willing to receive feedbacks.
+ Learn how to handle failure.
+ Have greate sense of responsibilities among the group.
