How People Handle Conflict?

After the test #1, Professor gave us a very good chance, if the whole class agree that we can do whatever we want to make better on our grade. This is the second experiment of making a decision. Unanimously adopted by the whole class, I think it's much harder than designing an egg protector. At that time, a very large question came to me:" How everyone agree the same idea? Is it impossible?" I was worried about it. I worried about we may have no chance when we just focus on the argument.

First, everyone tried to win their agreement. They tried their best to compete to win. But we knew that everyone had different grades on this test. Some people did poor on this test just because on the essay part, because of they're the second language students, they don't have enough time to write a such good essay. Some people who did well in this test, they just refused to change format. And some people didn't good at the multiple multiple choice questions, etc. Those conflict created a chaos situations. In that limited time, we began to panic just because we knew that if there's no compromise decision come out, we all have no chance to change anything on our grade. Since we have different idea, our leader calmed everyone down. She respected and wrote down the idea on the blackboard , then let us to vote for it. Finally, we all agree with drop the lowest grade and also get the extra credits.

Through this decision making experiment, we see the final decision looked benefit and fair to everyone. I wanna say, our leader did a very good job for us, if she didn't persuade us in the limited time, we all lost such a good chance. If she's not catch up the time, there's "no chance of winning". This task showed us in a very good way that how people handle conflict.
