What was the position of who called the meeting?
What was the meeting about?
Was there an agenda?
Was the purpose of the meeting accomplished?
After the meeting, were minutes distributed that outlined tasks and deadlines?
During the meeting, what role did you play (leader, note-taker, task, facilitator, etc.)
What could have been done to make the meeting more effective?
Compare classmates’ notes on the meetings you attended to identify similarities and differences as well as outcomes.
