After the theme submissions, Tyler posted a poll for everyone to vote for their favourite theme out of the suggestions. I think polls are really effective when working in a group, although i think if we were to do this again I would change the post a bit. Although theres nothing wrong with it, if looking closer It could contradict the message we are trying to send to the participants, for example:
- Telling the students they can add more suggestions to the poll - this sends a different message to the professional one we are trying to uphold with the project. We already had given a deadline to them, and by giving them the option to add more suggestions, it takes away the professionalism, as in the professional world, you wouldn't get this opportunity and we need to be consistent.
- Giving them the option to choose more than one theme - This is not a bad idea, but it can cause problems when trying to get a specific result. If people choose more than one and for instance liked all of them, we could get an equal result and cause us to have to make another poll, which can take more time. We also want people to be carefully considering the different options on what they would like to work on, and this stops the students from going through this process.
