A student is unhappy that a group member is contributing little. At the next group meeting the student calmly states what has not been done in front of the whole group, instead of first speaking to the member one to one. How appropriate is this action?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. Appropriate, though a better response exists

  1. Step 1: The concern is raised politely and factually and is about the work, not the person. Step 2. Speaking privately first would give the member a chance to explain and avoid embarrassment. Answer: Appropriate, though a better response exists. Why not the others: It is not inappropriate because the tone is calm and fair, and it is not very appropriate because a private conversation would be better.
