Are Groupwork and a Flock of Geese the Same Thing?

As many of you probably know, my Business Proposal and Report Writing classes are the biggest waste of time a student can spend at the University of Dayton. Now, I'll admit that the projects the professor assigns are somewhat meaningful and I am able to learn a little about writing proposals and reports. Unfortunately, class time is not spent on learning how to write the various reports. It is spent going over many grammar and sentence structure lessons that most individuals learn in the 5th grade. Past lessons included the proper use of apostrophes; those "pesky" pronouns such as everyone, no one, or anybody; and those deadly run-on sentences. We have had some wild classes in English 370, but nothing prepared me for what was in store during class this past Monday.

Our next project involves working in groups, an important part of today's business world. As expected, the class pertained to effective group work. How did she accomplish this you ask? By comparing every aspect of a flock of geese to the business world!
I never knew how much you can learn from the most annoying bird in existence. Did you know that geese fly in a "V" to reduce the amount of work that the entire group has to do as a whole? Did you care? Or, did you also know that when flying in "V" formation, the geese in the back are the ones who are doing all the honking? No one knows for sure why the geese in the back honk, but my professor decided to relate it to group work anyway because it sounded cool.

These life lessons are what we went over THE ENTIRE CLASS! Anyways, I wanted to use this post to share with you a small part of my daily life, so hopefully you learned a little something about Daniel J Laycock.
