Being Stuck In Group Research

Overall, this group project went very well and was completed on time due to the fact there everyone including myself assigned ourselves with a task role, relational role and from the start had individual roles present such as leader, compromiser, and gatekeepers in the group that made it

Although, I hate group projects and my group members are procrastinators we were able to pull it all together

In the article “Small Group Communication” Garth Pittman states that working in groups can actually be very helpful because it will get the job done faster, and develop skills that can be useful at work, school, and/or personal life. He clarifies that people will have different ideas and collaborate with one another to work well in the group. If they can get along well and manage to separate the work, then the project will get done on time without having any troubles. Pittman points out working in groups can get complicated. Few people in the group will not connect with the rest of the members. For those who aren’t used to being in groups can find themselves having a hard time getting use to it. The author believes that there is certain ways

Initially, I had a negative view on group working because of the challenges that I had. When I was in high school, my five other friends and I used to work together in a music competition. Although we were supposed to get together to practice

Working in a group to achieve a high quality group project can be one of people’s most difficult school experiences. Working in a group is tough because there is often someone who does not pull their own weight. “There are five stages to group development, adjourning, forming, storming, performing, and norming” (John & Wiley pg 166). Christine’s group from the Case Study the Forgotten Group Member is in between the Storming and Norming Stages. The Storming Stage “is dealing with tensions and defining group tasks,” while the Norming Stage is dealing with high emotionality and tension among the group members” (John & Wiley pg. 166). Christine and her group could have had better

Throughout middle school and my freshmen year of high school, I was never extremely comfortable in large group projects. For most of my life, I preferred to work alone or do most of the work in group projects. There was a time, however, in my sophomore Project Lead the Way class where my teacher was explaining to us the grave importance of group work and how it translates into the real world of engineering. After the speech, we were put in groups of eight to solve simple engineering problems, and I began to push myself to interact with my unknown peers. Slowly but surely, I grew more comfortable in group scenarios and kept pushing myself forward. Looking forward to today, I am a captain of my soccer team and a constant leader in group projects

Group projects can go one of two ways: you end up becoming close with your members as you power through the assignment or you end up feeling an enormous amount of contempt towards them that sprouts from their apparent incompetence. I’m very glad to say that I enjoyed working with my group members. They weren’t incompetent at all and were actual really nice to do this assignment with.

If you have a very negative environment or intense environment in our classroom kids don't learn as well as they do in a positive environment. Group projects allow students to work together with their peers and talk amongst themselves as one but do it while getting the knowledge and materials they need to learn. This causes the students to be less nervous when working with other and that makes the classroom they are in a more positive setting for them. I can speak from experience and I would rather work on a project with more than one person rather

There comes a point in a person's life when they have to cooperate with others on a group project. The people you work with might not have the same point of view as you or the same work ethic. This a part of life that a person has to deal with sooner or later. Being a lone wolf is simply not enough in today's society.

I have never been in a group project that everyone did an equal amount of work and did it right. I tend to always be the group leader, doing everyone’s work. I know if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. Another probably important and frustrating thing is that I don't have Microsoft Word, I have a new Apple Computer, so I have whats called “Pages” instead of “Word” documents. I am still working out how to use it properly and to its full extent. Another fault of mine is trying to make everyone happy to the extent that when i can't i feel pretty bad about

The second reason I agree with group projects is it improves student's performance in school. They would get better grades because it is easier to get through difficult steps or parts. The quality of the work will be much better that working alone. Speaking from experiences, parents would be much happier if their child not only got a better grade but also made some new friends as well.

When it came to writing in high school I always had a hard time brain storming for the prompts we were given. I was better at researching topics than I was at brain storming about them on my own. My teacher was more into group research and group essays. This was, again, helpful for me because research was my comfort zone. My sophomore year in high school we were assigned a writing project over Greek Mythology. We were in groups of four sometimes five and each group was assigned a different Greek god. The point of the research was to gather as much information about your Greek god as you could find. Normally because there were four people in the group each person was assigned one of the topics about our Greek god. For example, my group was assigned

Firstly, there are the different viewpoints in the group that make it hard to cooperate with one another. In groups, there are different personalities, making it hard to fit everyone’s ideas into the project. The

When it comes to group projects I've learned that it's easy for me to be a follower, and it's easy for me to lead. I address each situation differently. I didn't go into any of the projects with a mindset that I have to be the leader/follower. I just went into the group project, and found what I could do to best help my group and played my role.

Poor conflict management, personality differences and unresolved emotional issues, and poor client management are all problems that might occur throughout a group project (Forman and Katsky 25). Poor conflict management happens when teams are unable to resolve issues. Teams avoid conflict and agree on decisions that they may internally disagree on. This can build up resentment. Each team member has different needs, styles, and agendas (Forman and Katsky 25). The student’s motivation on a project can range from a mere requirement to a personal task. Work styles vary in small group situations. Some students are very structured and scrupulous, while others may be more creative and less organized.
