This week was module #2 in the OLI. It covered what makes up a good team, aspects of teams that help people succeed, and why it's important to be able to work in a team after school.
The first half of the module was about research done by Anita Woolley, Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior at Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University. She showed research that having more women (>50% membership), equal participation by all, and the ability to read social queues, greatly increase the overall capabilities and abilities a team can accomplish.
The middle part of the module was a quiz on how well you could read a person's expression just from their eyes. It was an interesting experience only being shown a person's eyes, trying to judge what mood or state they where in. I got 28 out of 36 correct (64%) which apparently is above average
The last part of the module, was videos from recent graduates who have experienced working in the work force and how team work is an important ability of an individual.
