Comments: Matthew is a very collaborative individual. From the get go, he jumped out and made initial contact with the team. He is extremely thorough (I swear before I even had
a chance to read one group discussion comment, hed already responded twice). Our group had no visible conflicts, but I do believe Matthew would be great at handling those
types of situations. Upon initial contact as a team, Charles was missing (simply hadnt gotten the swing of things immediately). Matthew was quick to address that issue and reach
out to Dr. Goertzen for support and suggestions on what to do. I was impressed by his swift call to action and appreciated how he kept me in the loop (by swapping cell numbers,
personal emails, and copying me in to all communication with Dr. Goertzen). Matthew was an active listener. He read every post and replied to every post, which helped ensure we
were all on the same page moving forward. Matthew contributed to the cohesion and synergy by initiating a lot of communication and next steps. He is a very dedicated
student/teammate and detailed communicator. He shared tiny bits of his personal life and was really in tune to the human element of being a teammate.

Comments: Matthew was an extremely credible teammate. I was always impressed for all that hes juggling as a new father, employee, and grad student that he seemed to dedicate
so much time to his school and team work. He was aggressive with deadlines, but understanding of others time needs. He put a lot of time and energy into his work, which again
with all he balances very much impressed me. I think his initiative initially helped set the tone for our group. When we discussed our similar desires to excel academically and
reservations with group work, I think we quickly built trust in each other. I appreciated in our communication sharing work how Matthew was always so positive and added pieces
of his personal life, like notes about his newborn daughter or a Happy Fathers Day note to Charles.

Comments: Initially I was struggling to find peer reviewed resources for one of my sections of our team competency project, so I reached out to my teammates for suggestions.
Both were quick to respond not only with ideas on what I might research, but also with actual research they themselves had looked up on my topic. It was nice to be part of a team
that had a lot of team cohesion. We worked for one common goal and while one particular section was mine to focus on, each member was there to support me if and when issues
arose. My teammates were go-getters, problem solves, innovative thinkers. They were committed, detailed, thorough, and supportive. To be very honest, this is the best team Ive
ever been on!
