Do you like group assignments?

Yes, I remember we did have that at some point in school. Group work is aimed at developing an individual's perspective of how to work with people, in a team. I learned that in a group we need to use everyone in the group no matter how weak they were in a certain aspect. There was this frail and shy kid at school, but was good at strategy, we managed to get him to work with us using what he could contribute in our little group projects. Everyone pitched in too with what they were good at and together we came out with impressive teamwork.

I have been in a couple groups since I started college and it depends on the group. My classes are all online, so my first group, the instructor assigned us into groups and we were to contact one another to work on this blog. Well, I was in a group of 5 or 6, but only three of us got together. We waited as long as possible for the others to show up, they never did, so between the three of us, we created this blog. We worked well together and I loved it and then saw a message from one of the others the day before the blog was due, with some excuse why she wasn't there and how she can help..I felt bad for her, because at the time, our work was done, there was nothing she could do and the instructor knew this. I am sure she didn't get any credit. The second one was a nightmare, as I was the only one to start, no one else contacted me. Then finally a couple did after I did some work, but I didn't submit it yet. So since I had done most of the work already, I assigned to the others what I felt I didn't do well on, and I made them work on it, without sharing what I had already researched. They did a good job, but it stunk, that at first I thought I was doing it all by myself..It was stressful.. So, yeah, I love working in groups, only if the others also work with me..

Hi Porco, when i was still a student, i always done my work as a group. Because our teacher always gives us group assignments, where we will need a few persons to formed a group to complete the assignments. So, we will assigned, who done which job, to make sure it is done properly and according to the time frame. Indeed, it is always excited to see in the end, my group always able to achieved our assignments within the time frame. Although sometimes we are unable to complete our assignment according to the required rules but at least we felt the excitement to work as a team. porco, when i have the time, i will reply to your email again. Do keep in touch always, my friend...

yes, its always preferrable to work as a group inspite of single.as " unity is the key to success". in today worlds many groups are been done to select the best one for the admission. multi national company are always look for the person who has ability to adopt the different enviroment. human resourse of the company are also look for the person who appreciates team work.

I was into group work during my school days, and i find it challenging, exciting and fun. More ideas arises, more problems are solve and a good project is produced.But sometimes group work has a disadvantage. Especially if you are the leader and some of your team mates does not like to cooperate.

group work can be either great fun or pain in the a** seriously. I had experience in both cases, when i was in uni i was put in a group with a chinese girl who literally did not know a single English word, her grammar is horrible and obviously we could not communicate. As a matter of fact I had to do the work on my own, which I wasn't quite bothered because I'd rather take the full responsibility for my grade than give her ruin my entire effort. On the other hand, i got to work with some amazing students also, who were responsible and amazingly smart, my Psychology assignment, which we only met for one meeting, got 80% or more :) At the end of the day, I do like group work, but it pretty much depends on the ppl you work with :)

Hi, Group work is common in our schools. I don't like group work. Some group members do more work than others and the grading of group work is not always fair. I prefer to work individually.

Hi Porcospino During the days when I was studying, we didnt have anything like the Group Activities. However, my group of friends (we always bunked college and classes) did some charity work in a group like we would organize a workshop at some suburb or slum areas educating them about healthiness, sanitation etc. This is my only experience of Group Activities. Though we never were evaluated but all of us (we were 10) did our roles assigned. Later, professionally, I did work with a few teams and even as Team Lead on my Assignments of Software Development but then, it wasnt that fun as it was during the college days.

according to me group work must be needed in education. We can get more interesting ideas from our friends and we can share our own thoughts only when we are in groups. If we are alone,our imagination level will be low. If we work in team,the output of the particular project will be good

I was in sales so a lot of group excercises came my way. It is fun, they look like a game but tell aloto about a group. Happy new year!!!

We only made group work sometimes. I like group work if the group members have the same aim with me. It will be fine if they won't do anything as long as his doing well. Even if he'll just sit there and listen as long as nothing will be lost.

I think group work is a good thing that we have to do, it can increase the effectivness..
