Group Work

I personally like to do group work more than individual work. I think group work provides us with more learning experience than does individual work. Not only do we learn through sharing ideas with our group members, we also learn to cooperate. Cooperation can sometimes be the hardest part of a group work, especially if you are with people you don’t know very well. It is actually not easy to divide jobs up fairly, but sometimes, if you’re lucky enough, you get people in your group that fit each task perfectly. Take my last group for example: I thought I had a pretty nice group because we each got to do the job we wanted to. Even though group work can be nice, I often lower my standards when I word with other people. Through experience, I learned that my standards for individual work is sometimes too high for other people, so I have learned to adjust my standards to better work with the other members of the group. When doing a group project, I think it is usually best that each member have his or her say. There doesn’t necessarily have to be a leader. However, when there really is a need, I would be willing to take on that role.
