Group Assignment Analysis

Decent Essays
Yes, I would say that I do well in group work and in completing group assignments. While doing this assignment I learned that I do work well in groups, I always thought that I worked better independently. After doing this assignment I do seek working in groups. Although, yes, the group grade does usually stress me out, but I trusted my group this time. Some advantages of doing group assignments are that you can do the divide and conquer method and you could ask for help/advice on an answer. While some disadvantages are that if you do not have a good group whose communication skills are nonexistent, that could end bad and hurt your grade.

    I feel as if the group project could have been done a lot better I felt as there was more of a focus on getting to know one another rather than focusing on the assessment. Currently I am not as confident on working with individuals that I don’t know so well as I was when we first started as I realized not everyone in the group had the same approach towards the task as I did especially in terms of prioritization despite this I believe I am more confident in showing leadership as Staci and Emily had other commitments I attempted to accommodate for this by contacting them and working out times when they were both free I believe this was a positive thing as normally in group assessments I have a tendency to rely on other people to make decisions like this and it was a positive experience delegating rather than receiving tasks. Overall working with Staci and Emily was fine as I have a more passive personality in group assignments it was a good learning experience for me a study has also shown that working as group positively influences and facilitates an exchange of knowledge(Shaw, Mitchell and Del Fabbro, 2015) this definitely occurred during our group work when it came to elaborating on social determinants I was able to help both Staci and Emily better understand them while Staci assisted me in learning about the stream factors overall I believe we compensated very well for each other’s gaps of knowledge . On the other side of the spectrum our fourth member Louis was difficult to work with as he contacted us the weekend before the assignment was actually ready to present and this caused a lot of stress and panic, after talking to Emily and Staci they definitely felt the same way about the situation with…

    We formed the group of four people promptly and waited for the topic to be assigned. The topic was assigned in week 9, while in other courses we knew all our topics for group assignments from week 3. Not only the topic for group project was assigned late, but I never had a chance to see the marking rubric and, therefore, to know the instructor’s expectations about my work. Despite the tight deadlines, our group equally divided the workload among four people and started to research the literature about the topic.…

    The Group Video Assignment has been the most creative assignment I have completed during my post-secondary education thus far. My favourite aspect of the assignment is its requirement to not only utilize an analytical approach in determining why European states are having difficulty cooperating in some areas, but also its requirement to utilize a creative approach to present the rationale. Regarding the division of the work for the assignment, it was more or less equally distributed between Josh and I. For the creative component of the assignment, we decided to record a parody of Rick Mercer’s popular rants (Josh came up with this idea and we planned on the method of execution together). Regarding the script, we wrote our specific parts individually and in the end, I put the script together, edited it, and included a synopsis to be used as reference in the case it becomes difficult for the viewers to distinguish the words of our rant.…

    The main strength I possessed throughout the process of this assignment was having a lite class schedule this semester. Since I only had a maximum of two classes each day it provided a vast amount of time to work on this assignment. My second strength was that I preserved all previous notes and assignments from earlier social work classes. The notes and assignments provided guidelines, in which I could follow to complete this assignment. My biggest weakness I possessed during this assignment was the lack of motivation.…

    I faced the internal struggle of being a good group member and being a good student. I struggled with communicating the urgency of completing the project to the rest of the group and not annoying everyone on the group chat. In the end, this challenge was solved by my fellow group members completing (thankfully and barely) before the deadline. If I could do the project over I would be less passive aggressive and talk to my group members about completing the work together to get it done earlier. Looking past all of my complaints and challenges this group assignment proved to be helpful and educational.…

    During and after the group project I got a better understanding of NAVAL and a better understanding of my group. For example, Lexi is the leader of the group and Camille is the worker bee meaning that she is the one to go to for the information about the presentation. There were many high points in the group such as when we completed are power point early and when we researched the information. I had a blast working with them. A low point was when the video couldn’t load and we had to start from scratch again.…

    Group work is very different than what I am use to. I am use to working on projects alone and knowing where I stand. I have always been a shy person and have relied on myself for anything I am working on in school. This particular project really brought me out of my comfort zone and showed me it is okay to ask for help. Marvin Wright's Family Literacy Night was different to say the least.…

    The topic for our community group assignment was chair yoga. Based on the research articles we have gathered, there were many physical and psychological benefits for the older adult population to practice yoga. These benefits included increasing strength and balance, as well as decreasing stress and depression for older adults. Interestingly, when we asked the elderly participants at Seashore Gardens about their knowledge on the topic, many of the participants only knew about the term ‘yoga’ but had little to no knowledge on the practice of yoga. Working together with my group members for this assignment has been an interesting experience because our working style and personality was so diverse.…

    I believe I was successful in learning how to organize my schedule, which allowed me to move smoothly through all aspects of my life without feeling like I was being pulled in several different directions; the group project portion of the course would be the exception. Although I manage my time, it became difficult to schedule when you were relying on or waiting for team members to respond or submit their portion of the assignment. I believe this new experience of working with a group will be of assistance to me when faced with another group assignment. With my renewed understanding that not everyone has the same sense of urgency that I do, I will need to adjust my expectations and learn how to manage better my stress more…

    I personally do not enjoy partaking in group-based assignments based on my own personal negative experiences, although, I do acknowledge the benefits group work can bring. It was highly noticeable to me, that working remotely can be difficult for some students to manage given the lack of existing relationship between members. I, as a team player, was a highly active contributor throughout the creative synthesis projects, who understood my effort would determine not only my own academic outcome but also the outcome of my peers. Although, not all who are trusted with the grades of their peers, take such a responsibility so seriously. Each team member brings different experiences and expectations to the table and therefore, navigating these assessments can be somewhat treacherous if team members are not on the same page.…
