In Class: Past Group Work Problems

I can't really think of official group work projects that did not go so well. I remember in some class i had to initiate the process of assigning parts to work on and when to meet up and everyone emailed me their pieces of work and i had to put them all together but that really was only a job for one person. even in high school i would be the one loaning notes out to friends who didnt pay attention in class or i'd have to teach a little section near me what needed to be known on the test in 10 minutes but it all really didnt bother me because tutoring other people ends up helping you better understand the material anyway! It was not that i was any smarter than anyone, i just was more neurotic so i paid attention for fear of missing any important notes and i studied alot.

An ideal group work situation would be completely in class! That way everyone shows up on time and for the same purpose and with the same amount of time to work on it. This is all overseen by a professor so each member would actually show up and contribute, and furthermore, if the group had any questions or concerns, the professor would be right there in class to help!

A possible process of completely Unit 3 successfully in a group of 4 could be to meet together and discuss our topic we will aim for and do some group research in class. Because there are 4 people and 3 arguments needed, we could put 3 of the people in charge of each argument topic (1 for each person) and the 4th person could be in charge of keeping the overall purpose together and ultimately piecing together each argument into one representation so that it could be presented to the class.
