What Are The Benefits And Disadvantages of Collaboration
One of the benefits of working in a group would be that lots of the things that you learn in a group stays with you. Another great advantage to working in a group is that if you are struggling with the given material or work then your group members can pull you along and reteach the information as needed. A benefit to having to reteach something to someone in your group not only does it help out that person but you learn more by doing teaching them and it proves that you know the material. An advantage and disadvantage would be that it may become fun and entertaining working with the people in your group. The advantage to this is that you wouldn't dread doing the work but, the disadvantage to this is that you might have just a little to much fun and not end up doing the work and then you'll end up cramming to get the job done or what happens most of the time is that it'll end up only being one person doing all the work and doing it at the last minute and in that case when it comes time to present only that one person knows all the information and everyone else is sitting up there in front of the class thinking, I don't know what to say and they sit there with a look on there face thinking I didn't do any of the work.

I agree with you disadvantages because I’ve been in a situation where my class was doing group projects and one person decided to do nothing. Our teacher wouldn’t let us explain what part we individually did ourselves, so my other “working” partner and I had to do double the work, we still got a good grade, and so did the “slacker”. It’s very irritating.
ReplyDeletei agree with you in disadvantages as well because i have also been in similar situations when it came to something like that.
ReplyDeleteSometimes working in a group aren’t fun because if you don’t know the person then you’ll feel uncomfortable but also at the same time it’s faster to get your work done in a group and if you don’t understand some information then you can ask someone in the group for help
