Pros and cons for group work: Pro, we were very strong in communication and getting everything done on time. Very proficient. Con, the con was the presentation when I accidentally put in the wrong formula, but still got the same answer, also, I had a hard time explaining the math concepts. Answers to 4 of the following Core Competencies: I am clear on the difference between simple “group work” and collaboration as evidenced by… simple group work being that we each did a smaller section to get the big assignment overall. Collaboration being that we worked together and got it all done.

One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to… talk about each thing and make sure everyone is on the same page. If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to… fix the problem and get the others to share their opinions. I show others that I truly value their contributions by… asking for their opinions and asking for their ideas.

What did you learn about working in a group from this semester that you will carry into your next group experience? Collaboration and making sure everyone has equal parts in the assignment. Making sure each person gets a say in what part they take on. And lastly helping each other out.
