students on a group project can sometimes be a huge challenge because some people have a better work ethic than others and feel as if they are doing all the work. While working in groups, it can be hard to spread out the work evenly, and there are normally people who do more work than others. Group projects require good work ethics, teamwork, and good communication among all members. Good communication is a very important factor to have within group projects. Without communication, the project would be
Group Research Project Reflection Essay Having more than one mind working on a project will improve the quality of the project because although some members of the group may miss an error or not think of an idea, another group member might catch the idea or error and fix the issue. Working in a group for the research project was a great learning experience and it definitely helped the project get done faster, have less errors, and it taught me about collaboration with others. One thing working
Case 9 – The Forgotten Group Member 1. Christine’s leadership abilities could benefit by having knowledge of the stages of group development. Specific to her situation, it seems that aside from the very first group meeting, Mike was not present for the forming stage of the group. As a result, questions such as “What can the group offer me?”, “Can my needs be met and still contribute to the group”, and other discovery inquiries did not get answered for Mike so he has not felt part of the team

Many people are for the use of group projects while others are against the use of group projects. I am personally for the use of group projects because members can evenly divide the work between each group member, it strengths the student’s communication skills, and students can help each other out. First, I am for the use of group projects because members can evenly divide the work between each group member. One reason is less work. When they work individually, they are responsible for doing all
contributing to small group project success. Effectively managing all aspects of the project is a challenge and taxing on the group leader. I feel no aspect should be neglected during this process; I will discuss the three aspects that I believe are critical to its success. Those key elements are; building the right team, communication and management of expectations. With these three components properly implemented we can assure that we have created a foundation which the group can succeed. Building
After completing the Access group project I will say that I am proud of the work that my group did because the topic appealed to both of us while also providing me with real world skills that I will need in the future. In the past group projects have proven to be challenging but I will say that working with Lena was a great experience. We both learned from each others mistakes and taught each other how to use Excel and Access. The project was very structured due to the multiple deadlines but was
each of the five project management process groups (initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing). Initiating a process is where the project begins. The tasks that are part of the initiation process are to identify and understand the project stakeholders, creating the project charter and holding a kick-off meeting. The project stakeholders are usually the project sponsor, the project team, the support staff and the internal customers. The project charter is a document
consider group projects the worst part of a class because often it ends up with one person doing all the work and others taking credit. Or there is that one person who doesn’t do anything and tensions can get high. However, my experience with a group project in Human Communications was different that what is normally expected. During this semester of Human Communications I learned many things about communicating, and I experienced the good and bad aspects of working with others for the group project
toward your group project. Although I usually wait to discuss group projects until after the midterm, your willingness to push ahead with group work prompts me to engage in an early conversation with you on this subject. Because this week's lab has been cancelled, I hope you can use our regular class time next Wednesday for your group meeting and to get an early start on this project. I would like to focus on three important elements that should help you to put your group project in perspective
Objectives behind Group Projects We go to festivities with friends and again look for a group of people in our lows. It is good to share every walk of life with a bunch of people. On the same premise the professors teaching the MBA course came with something called “Group Projects”. If you think that working in group is division of work so as to achieve the ultimate goal before the deadline then Hold On! There are lot many objectives behind lashing lot many people together to carry out a work. Let’s
Many teachers assign group projects. Sometimes, however, an uncooperative member can affect the entire group. I think group projects are good for the students. When students work in group projects it lightens the load, work is equally distributed, and the students have assistance when needed. I think teachers need to do more group projects for the students. Some students work better when they work in a group, but some students try to not do any work at all. Sometimes groups get an uncooperative member
Problem: When working on a group project, there are certain skills that are required to make sure that the tasks are being carried out smoothly. With that in mind, it is critical to keep an open line of communication as well as an understanding of the other individuals in the group. The following scenario is of a group project I was a part of that had a breakdown in the two points expressed above. A week and half before the project deadline, the group was under the impression that one of our members
In our group, there is no obvious leader, each one of us at some point, discovered our own capacity for leadership. However, this was never giving direct orders to one another, rather it worked based on democracy. We are all very good listeners for what is needed in the moment, and expressed ideas such that they occur as opportunity for others. In my past group work experience, there will always be one person who acted as the leader for most part of the project, what separate us from that is that
In a team-oriented setting, everyone contributes to how well the group succeeds overall. You work with fellow members of the group to complete the work that needs to be done. Having the right people in the correct roles is an important factor in measuring the success of a team, where you are united with the other members to complete the main goals. Every group is made up of definite strengths and weaknesses. Our team's 3-5 major strengths necessary to work accordingly consist of Informer, Summarizer

Marketing & Screening Because of the nature of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault we will be working with young adults from 18 to 45 years of age.

Imagine being assigned a group assignment. As you and your group begin to work, you realize that there are many complications that make it difficult for your group to create an exemplary project. You try all you can to keep the project afloat, but when your grades come back, you get a C. This grade will drag down your final grade for the quarter. Teachers should assign less group projects because uncooperative members can negatively affect the remaining group members; it limits the creativity of
Experience with My Group Project Working with my group for the project gave me a chance not only to understand and learn the group working culture, but also to understand more about my group members or my classmates. Despite some difficulties and discomfort, I thought this was a great learning process that I had ever had in my life. Our project was related to the process of discover an average life of a college student through the ways he/she would do to become rich, which was an interesting topic
Reflection of the Group 5 Project Jennifer Thoman Wilkes University Reflection of the Group 5 Project This is only my third class in the Wilkes Instructional Media Program but I can say with certainty that it was the hardest. The class is about Project Based Learning so it only makes sense that part of it would be doing a project. But doing so on the computer with people you have not met and probably never will meet makes it hard. Add to that the fact you’re all
Our group project is on Henri Fayol’s “Administrative Management Theory”. As a group member I took on a task of researching his theory.
