Working in Teams

Many minds are better than one is definitely a benefit of working as a team. With more people in the group there is more chances for great, creative ideas. One person could definitely come up with some great ideas, but they may not think of all the ideas that a group with 2 or more could come up with. On the other hand, a group could be waiting on another group member to pull their own weight in coming up with an idea and that could put stress on a group. I experienced this in a previous group where we all brought some great ideas to the table and those ideas got us a good grade.

Team members help each other past the frustrations and stress of writing. This is could be beneficial because everyone helps each other out with the writing portion of the project by doing their assigned section and also help each other out by giving advice on other member’s sections. This could also be a big challenge to a group because a group member could not do as much as everyone else and then the other people have to go in a do that person’s section. This could cause stress and frustration. I was in a group and someone didn’t do as much as they were supposed to and the deadline was the next day so the rest of the group had to do what that person didn’t.
