Personal Perspective PaperAuthor Ken Lakuta (date unknown) once wrote: “Opportunities exist in the air for just a few minutes. If you don't obey your intuition right away, you've lost your chance” (Brown, quoting Lakuta, date unknown, p.3). I don't want to miss my chance! I plan to take the opportunity and complete the coursework necessary to obtain my Masters in Business Administration for several reasons. Thanks to the tools that the University has made available to me, such as “rEsource”, the team learning environment and problem-based learning, I will succeed in this program and achieve my goal. The value of rEsourceSearching for information became easier with the creation of the Internet. , simply ask for information from anyone who has manually searched a library. The University took the research process even further by creating “rEsource”. Now any student can search and obtain information from an endless collection of materials needed to help them succeed in their degree program. All resources are available online and accessible from anywhere with Internet access. Time is maximized, allowing students to achieve their goals in half the time. The “rEsource” tool is just one leg of the three-legged stool provided to students. The second support system ensures that all students have the ability to work in learning teams. The Value of Learning Teams When working with a group of people, you are exposed to a variety of knowledge, backgrounds, and backgrounds. The value of learning teams is extremely beneficial. No one has the knowledge to cover all circumstances; however, as a group you are a link in a chain of knowledge with a wealth of experience and resources. Each team member brings unique strengths, perspectives, and work styles (Innergize, date unknown). For teams to be successful, they must establish a common goal and become familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of each member. Establishing a few basic ground rules is also essential to group success: 1) knowing your team members, 2) clear roles of responsibility, 3) effective communication, 4) accepted leadership, 5) s accept and support each other, 6) check understanding and agreement, 7) resolve conflicts constructively and quickly ((Innergize, date unknown, p. 1) and (Page and Donelan, 2003, p.126)). Successful teams need a balance between task and relational roles. My experiences in team learning and problem-based learning (case studies) were beneficial and I enjoyed the opportunity and exposure.
