Course Preparation One of the courses that helped prepare me for the weekly assignments was Working with Groups/ BASS 481. After spending the previous ten weeks in the Field Experience course and not having to do group work, it’s difficult to get back in the swing of things. In preparation to resume learning teams, I reflected on the reading material from this course. As stated in the text, “groups have a beginning, middle, and an end, each stage of which has its own developmental obstacles and challenges.
Over time, you are helping people develop sufficient safety, trust, and intimacy so that individual and group goal may be accomplished (Settler, 2001). While there are many interpretations of the exact group developmental stages, most of the theories agree on the following stages: 1. Introduction, 2. Experimental engagement, 3. Cohesive engagement, and 4. Disengagement. Knowing that becoming a fully functional group takes time, effort, and trust; helped build my confidence during the learning team assignments in the capstone course.
Additionally, Along my academic Journey at the University of Phoenix there were a few courses that prepared me for the helping profession, however there were three courses in particular that enhanced the skills that I had coming into the program at the University of Phoenix.

Creating mock companies, lectures, role play and reading the electronic material weekly played an extremely important role with the knowledge I received in this course.
