Collaboration, Cooperation, Critical Thinking

Working in a group can be tricky. When the group figures out everyone's strengths and weaknesses, it can be easier to preform the work and finish the assignment. Splitting the work evenly according to those strengths and weaknesses can also be tricky. I would suggest figuring the work out for the pickiest person in the group first, then work from there. The group should be in contact with each other to work together more, that way no one is doing all the work and everyone is on the same page. Emailing is good, texting too, but also creating a document, such as Google docs in Google to help with the project or assignment. Motivating the group is not only the leaders job, but also the whole groups job. There is a difference between just getting the project done and putting out a whole bunch of junk, versus actually working together and learning something at the same time. Spend the time to make it good. The grade will show that it is worth it.
