working with groups...

Throughout my life I have been working with groups in school and with friends not knowingly. I don’t really like working with groups at school because there are other people you have to count on doing the work and also I have to worry about myself and am obligated to do the work. If I have people who do the work and are responsible then it’s good and force myself to do it so I won’t let them down. But the benefit of doing work as a group is you have different opinions and new ideas and not just yours. You have people who count on you on doing the work and that way you actually do the work. So that’s pretty much is the pros and cons on group working…

  1. i agree, i hate the fact that i sometimes have to rely on other people to get work done. it is not always as important, but it definitely puts me at ease when i am in a group with other people who want to get there work done. hopefully, you will find yourself in that hard working group when you have those bigger group projects.

  2. i agree with the fact taht you have to rely on people and really trust them in a way to get the work done.i hardly like working in groups for the same reason beacuse i like being able to do the most i know i can and finish the project knowing i did everything i can to get it done.i think like both you and i others feel the same way.but you would think people would change huh? lol

  3. oh hey, it's the second time i'm commenting here because i apperently missed the captcha questions and now i have to do this all over. yeah interwebs. but yeah. group work depends a lot on the people you are working with and how well you can adapt. it can be stressfull to go at other peoples paces, fast or slow

  5. I understand what you mean that we all have different opinions and working together on the same project makes it hard because we all want different things. One person might want to do the presentation one way and the other might want to just hand something out and not present it.

  6. I think that it is true that you feel obligated to do your part of the work because you know they are counting on you and you don’t want to let them down. And I know what you mean when you say that you don’t like working in a group because you have to rely on other people. But you just have to trust that they will do it.
