Group Project Reflection

Working in a group was a great way to get to know my classmates. Despite our differences, we worked together and completed the assignment. I like working in a group, but sometimes I would rather do the assignment on my own. Group work has its good and bad effects.

My role in the project was make sure all our ideas followed within the guidelines of the instructions.  I would occasionally throw an idea out to my peers, but with an introverted group I usually wouldn't get much feedback.  As the project came to expiration I learned that even though sometimes being in a group makes the work load lighter it can also occasionally make the work harder since it's more difficult to mold multiple individuals preconceptions into one

In our opinion, the $34 credit card fee charged by Westpac when Alan used his MasterCard to pay his 2016 income tax owing to the ATO as per 2016 income tax assessment notice is not deductible. As stated in ATO Interpretative Decision 2010/160: Income Tax Deductibility of card payment fee incurred in paying income tax

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.

The second “best practice” for group work is to look for the best in people. Refrain from going into the project with negative expectations of the assignment or members of the group. In addition, bar yourself from masking your own insecurities by pointing out faults in others. Look for and expect the best from every member of the group, including yourself. Ask yourself how what each person’s strengths are and what makes them a valuable contribution to the group (Hunter,

Almost two months since receiving our brief, I have come to the conclusion that there are many aspects to which I have contributed and there are certain things I need to improve.

Our collaborative group project was frightening when I first realized this was part of the course. I had not completed a group academic project in years as I have been an online degree-seeking student. I wavered between being confident my fellow team members would be fantastic as we are all in the same degree program and worried we would have some conflict. Marks and O’Connor researched undergraduate business students regarding collaborative learning that states precisely the concerns rolling through my mind.

What occupation did your group session address? What was the goal for group session? The occupation addressed was meal prep/setup and leisure participation. The goal was to utilize their long term memory and motivate them to recall positive, emotional memories.

My prior experience in leading a group is when I lead a group of young men that were growing up in low-income housing. Ironically, most of these young men were growing up in a household where there is no father present, and they looked to the streets for guidance. During these group sessions, we talk about the stigma that was placed upon them for coming from the area in which they were growing up in. We also talked about social issues that they are dealing with growing up as African American males. Another point that was brought up was how do they deal with the police that patrols the area. Also, we created a dialogue that entailed discussing what the short-term and long-term goals were. Many participants of this group were eager to

The fifth and final “best practice” for group work is to build in individual accountability. In addition to evaluating the work of the group as a whole, ask each group member to demonstrate their knowledge and participation. This can be accomplished by delegating key parts of the group’s assignment to each member of the group. With everyone having a necessary part to do, the group is assured to have equal participation from all members. Building in accountability in this manner helps to prevent the "free rider" phenomenon (Barkley, Cross, & Major,

Do group projects help you or goes wrong . Group project is when your teacher gets you into a group with other people, and give you a topic and you have to make a project about it . Now sometime people don't like a group project mostly because of the person in their group. I’m going to explain why it's more better to do a group project .

This reflection paper is an analysis of my experience throughout this group project over the course Univ 1100. The purpose of working in groups is to build characteristics such as teamwork, reliability, trust, leadership & communication skills as well as learning new things based off of one another’s intelligence to prepare you for future jobs and etc. I was assigned to the group with Sydney, Dynasty, Sarena, Jyqueria, and Charlotte. We we’re assigned thee group project towards the beginning of the semester. We had to choose a social issue to write a paper on creating an image for students to understand what our topic was about, how it impacts the world, our feelings about it as a group and the importance of addressing it. For

Teamwork can be complex and challenging given task and interpersonal issues, level of group motivation and expected performance standards. The concrete experience spoken about in this reflection piece is in reference to the effectiveness of myself as a group member and the group, working to write a report outlining the organisation and structure of Volkswagen. Dennison (2009) applies Kolb’s learning cycle (1981, 1984) which suggests that learning moves through a continuous cycle, between having an experience, and then reflecting on that action. This cycle has been developed from Lewin’s (1951) model for experiential learning. Reflection termed by Boud, Keogh and Walker (1985) ‘is a forum of response to the learner to experience’(p. 18). On reflection, the early set group dynamics was a defining factor in the experience, and how the team conducted themselves throughout the task. Meyerson, Wick and Kramer (1996) note that ‘such rapidly converging groups require methods for developing “swift trust”’ (p. 8), which can explain why initial group dynamics are so important. I took on multiple team roles, including group leader, which could be translated into the team not performing collectively on a high level, however, I could view this as a personal ineffectiveness of my leadership style.

Sharing will take place a little throughout the activity as the clients in group discuss their individual tasks. More sharing will take place after the activity is completed. Group members will share with each other what their individual jobs are and what they contributed. We as a group will discuss how working together on our individual jobs contributing to one final product benefitted them. We will touch on the fact that everybody played a valuable role and that the final product would be worse without the help of everybody.

I found that when it comes to writing team charters, meeting minutes, and the main project I had lots of trouble with deadlines and staying focused on the project. Instead of letting myself fall even more behind I decided to follow the discoveries of Ivan Petrovich Pavlov in associative learning, but instead of eating dog treats to make myself like group projects I would reward myself by taking breaks every paragraph and/or every time I became frustrated or lost train of thought. Doing this made my writing more progressive, I would reward myself when taking breaks by doing things such as going upstairs to get ice-cream, reading, taking a short nap, or playing video games for five minutes just to get my mind off stressful topics like deadlines
