Reflection On Building Characteristics Of A Group

Group projects are an essential part of making outstanding students. These projects help students learn how to communicate with others, develop new skills, and become more responsible. Involving students in group projects will help them to establish skills necessary later in life.

As a college student, I don’t enjoy group work. I am the student that dominates the group and does almost all of the work, establishing group times to talk about what needs to be done, and making sure that attendance is mandatory

For this class project, I think my group worked well together on the assignments. We all saw we had responsibilities and were expected to do our own parts for each assignment we worked on. For each assignment, we would split it equally among us and used a tool called Google Docs so we were each on our own computers but working together on one file. Google Docs really made the process easier with reviewing all the information and having it all in one file. If any questions came up we had a group text to communicate when we weren’t on campus grounds for class.

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 this project, I found that working through the Standard Agenda to solve a problem was an effective way for a group to decide upon a solution. Even though our group was unexperienced using the Standard Agenda, we were able to use each other’s strengths to improve the quality of our discussion about the issue of rising college tuition. Looking back to previous projects, I can see how our group has grown to better understand the methods of effective group work. While there were both beneficial and impeding forces at work in the task and social processes, I feel that overall our group had a successful problem solving discussion.

Communication between group members was essential to complete this project well and in a timely matter. We used the GroupMe phone application to discuss developments to the project and obstacles encountered. When group members could not meet during class, I made sure to get them caught up through the GroupMe app immediately. I feel my leadership and organization was necessary to get certain group members to contribute to the project. Overall, I was satisfied with the group

During my college life on campus in my major, I normally get a lot of group assignment to complete. In my second semester, I have been engaged with some hard working group members who willing to achieve their goals. In this case, all of us were on the same pace to complete the assignment and get it done on time to the best of our ability. In my communication class called editing and film, One of the projects was to film some athletes performing and write an article about the sport. There were five members in my group and we all work together and each individual gets a sign task to do and complete it without an issue. We get one week to perform the task and the follow Monday we would have to present it to the class, we have complete the work on time because we all work hard together as a team to get the job done

After the topic was decided upon, the next step was to review the guidelines for the group project. We understood that an outline needed to be created before anything else could be started. Therefore, as a group we decided that each member for design an outline and share it with each other. This

a major group project I have had to work on in my life was my freshman magnet project. In this project we had to work in groups of four to research a career in its entirety including degrees to obtain and schools you can go to. From the very beginning we knew this project is going to be difficult as it had many components. we decided that divided the work would be the easiest for everyone's success. as a whole we were able to accomplish a well designed poster and presentation of our work. Separated however we were able to create a successful portfolio, the most important part of the project. We each individual we did our research on our chosen part and when the time came combined them onto a singular files which can be modified by everyone

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

When someone says group project one can see who likes them and who does not. There are people who like group project and there are people who hate them. Some people like to work together and all share responsibilities but there are the people who have had bad experiences with group projects. It is interesting to see how people act in a group setting. Some people sit back and let others do their work and some work hard and try to get everyone involved. The roles of group members can be categorized and analyzed.

All throughout middle school and high school teachers will always assign a group project where an uncooperative student causes a whole group to come “crashing down,” leaving the other students with a huge hole in their grade. I am against group work because they have more negative characteristics, such as, that it takes more time, dealing with difficult people, and struggling with trust of others. Many group projects leave students feeling frustrated and angry which diminishes the educational value of the process altogether.

This subject upgrades my study abilities and also learning towards distinctive however vital ideas. Presently I feel that I am ready to put these aptitudes into genuine circumstances that I find out about and rehearsed in class giving me certainty and adding to my internal and external learning .i am ready to discover issues and distinctive hypotheses that apply to diverse errands; this manufactures my insight into how concentrate on the example of distinctive methodologies. With the assistance of new aptitudes I came to know the contrasts in the middle of results and encounters .already I discovered individuals in associations expanded my insight and created abilities yet the most noteworthy thing that I have encountered in this subject is filling in as gathering and group and growing new aptitudes, to assist me with creating methods for drawing nearer other 's thoughts and offer admiration to their qualities and morals. Further, figuring out how to make great relations with different understudies who are in the same group constructs amicability between people builds up the solidarity 's and I perceived how everyone participated with one another for the presentation of the required work. Everyone attempted their earnest attempts and helped one another with data and force point presentation. The most clear thing that I found was the upside of functioning as a major aspect of group.i discovered that great collaboration is the way to accomplishment in the outline

Working in a group can be very difficult at times. Different people with different views may not always agree which one another. Throughout the various task I played the communicator. I made sure everyone was on track on what we wanted to do. I also made sure people was okay and happy in the role they was playing in the group. My group worked together in collecting ideas from one another and making it into one.

This team project was among the more challenging team projects I have worked on. Some of that is due to the short time given for the scope of the project, some due to the number of people in the group, and finally some to individual willingness to contribute to the team effort. Our team struggled to gain cohesiveness starting with a group member missing the first meeting and another one stating they were too busy to meet during the week or on the weekend. They were reminded that we all had to make personal efforts to meet and complete the requirements of the project. Once we moved through these initial “bumps” we brainstormed as a group to come up with an idea for our crisis. We gathered several ideas and ultimately voted (those were present at the meeting) on what our topic would be, who would fulfill what roles and the responsibilities we would assume. We left that meeting with a basic understanding of our project. I have had a lot of experience working in groups both in school and professionally, and some of the above-mentioned challenges we encountered are not unique either in the academic or professional setting. I choose to keep tension to a minimum within in the group as far as confronting individuals (unless I absolutely must- I subscribe to “you catch more flies with honey, than vinegar”, but I will pull out the vinegar if needed). I have found if your approach is confrontational, accusatory (you didn’t do this, you don’t do that) and angry when you are
