Reflection On Group Work

1815 Words8 Pages

This essay serves as a reflection for myself and the process our group went through for the semester. Through this module, I gained greater insights about myself, discovering my strengths and weaknesses when working in a team, as a member, and as a leader. Reflecting upon the past few months, cohesiveness was something very valuable I picked up from this group project. It was something our group never failed to have, even from the moment we formed the group. Initially, I was very critical towards group work because of my prior experiences with bad groupmates. I always had a perception that members of the group would not be able to get along. However, being together with the seven friends I made from the LTB journey, I was blessed to have met such great team members. This group had allowed me to have a different perspective towards group work, and now I genuinely look forward to more group works in the future. I did the survey with this group in mind, and cohesiveness is in fact reflected in the results. The score of 4.20 upon 5 is obtained which is above the average of 3.87. Building team rapport, I believe, is the most important aspect when doing a group project. I have learnt that it is very crucial to know each other on a level more than being just groupmates. We heeded the professor’s advice to at least have one meal together, and decided to eat as a group during the second week. I felt that a group of eight could have been too big, but the weekly lunches made us

    Every time that a group project is assigned I look everywhere in search of hardworking people, but unfortunately this is rare nowadays. I personally do not like working with a group of people, it is a waste of our time for a number of reasons. People are more dependent on one another and expect the job to be done for them without even trying. This affects the way we are now, things are not supposed to be easy and just magically be solved; it defeats the purpose of working together with each other and learning. I agree that more people can serve as a power source for more research, but it still isn’t sufficient enough for those who just act like fools and don’t get their work done; the one’s that are goofing around can distract the rest of the group members and convince them to join the dark
