How I Handle Decision Making Conflict

Today, I'm blogging about an exercise Professor Kurpis put me and the class through last week. The exercise entailed decision making. We were given the entire class period to decide on what course of action Professor Kurpis should take in improving our grades from our previous exam. The entire class went into turmoil shouting here and there, we couldnt get a concensus on the subject matter. At first, I was participating in the choosing but as time dragged on I became more on the side of compromise. At that point, i came to conclusion that my fellow classmates would not entirely agree on my idea of dropping the lowest grade so i decided to go with a type of compromise that seemed to benefit me a little better than dropping the grade. As the hour dragged on, I moved from compromise into avoidance because I felt that the decsion making process was going nowhere and at the end of it all we would get nothing. I took this route specifically because of my personality set. I have tendency to give in when my demands are not met or recieved well by others, sort of like a "pushover". All in all, the excercise was enlightening and stressfull and I'm not looking forward to anything like that ever again.
