Nailing on Debriefing – D29

Bravo, bravo, bravo… (Standing ovation to everyone) Clap, clap, clap (8)

So, we first talked about Kyle’s library project and the possibility to visit it one of the following weeks. I’m not going to get into detail with this, because the most important part of the debriefing was our approach on problem solving as a group. Because of Pablito’s request to talk about the Greek class and how inefficient we are in it, we discussed a better way in which we can engage in the class and have a better use of its resources, especially Moris’s time. We concluded that one of the main characteristics of an MPC student is his or her capacity to adapt to different situations. We all agreed that if we keep asking so many questions, we are going to advance very slowly. As a solution, we decided to leave Moris do the class as he wanted, whether a lecture or not, and we’ll leave room for questions after, as long as we have prepared ourselves beforehand and really tried to master the class. By the way, Gaby told us she would stop receiving Greek class with Moris and do her own syllabus.

One more thing and the most important about the debriefing was Gaby’s honesty (after a question from Marce) that she was having second thoughts on whether to leave the MPC or not. Mainly because of her frustration and as she told us, “was not feeling good physically or mentally”. She feels she is not having a good time doing all the MPC stuff and thought was not well prepared for this career. It was a very emotional moment for all, especially the ladies, because many of us have thought and felt the frustration of not catching up with our homework and readings. I told her afterward that I totally disagreed on what she said, because I think of her as a very intelligent and capable person, and if in any case an MPC’er is leaving the MPC, that would not be her case. So, a very interesting and good way to finish a long day at the MPC…
