Because of that particular scenario, I was able to learn many things. One of them is that I actually have to COOPERATE with others, not just work solo. I am someone that is mostly used to doing things by myself, however the situation showed me that I should not just do the part I was assigned and call it a day, but rather to go all out and to actually collaborate and to talk to my peers. It is important since collaborating and talking to peers can actually end up giving you information on their progress, seeing if the work is going smoothly, and opinions. If it were not for the teamwork, the project would have been a total fail. Luckily, since my group mates and I were able to collaborate and work together, we were able to succeed. Additionally, I also learned is to understand that others may have different schedules from mine. Unfortunately, that was learned the hard way for me since we ended up finishing a couple hours before the deadline. In regards of the schedule, while our communication was alright, I think it is possible for it to have some improvement, if we had spoke up more, we would have been able to talk about our schedules and availability to work on the projects so it remains a little more consistent.

This one is a bit more subtle, but I managed to collaborate with others to help resolve a problem. This is seen in the slide Connections to Other Novels. It's not directly in the slide, but rather what happened behind the scenes. One of my fellow group members was met with a couple of problems: conflicting schedules and lack of understanding. Another group member and I have decided to help her out with her part of the project. We both gave her suggestions on what to write and gave out examples to help guide her through finishing her part. |
