Group Work.....

Working in groups was probably one of the best parts of the RHE 306 class for me personally. Many may think that working in groups is easier because you as an individual have to do less work. However, for me it was more about the aspect that you can learn and absorb ideas from other people. Not only was I able to share my knowledge and help my group members, but most of all I was able to instill some of there ideas into my work. In addition, as we all know three heads is always better one. Whenever, my group got together to work on the assignment at hand, we never really split up the work. I think that was very beneficial because we were all able to put or input into the paper. When you split up the work essentially one person is writing what they only think, not what the group thinks. Also, when working in a group environment since you have more then one person proof reading the paper, you have fewer mistakes and more participation. Also, one of the major things that not only I, but probably the whole class benefited from was that we were able to get to know our classmates better. For example, on the first paper we wrote I was able to get to know my group members Edgar and Tao very well. Even after the paper we always talked and joked around, we built a relationship which truly personified group work.
