Group work is always interesting. You meet new people and you learn to adapt and focus on achieving the goal at hand. With all groups, there is inevitably conflict. Most of the time these conflicts are easily resolved, but it is better to be prepared and expect what possible conflicts could arise.
For my group I expect us to work very well together. We all get along and are quite good friends. However, despite the friendship we will ultimately have conflicts that we will need to work around. The biggest and most notable conflict that our group has been faced with thus far is that of scheduling meeting times. Due to sports, clubs, and jobs, almost all of our schedules conflict. This makes it extremely difficult to progress together on a topic or project.
So as a group, with little time to meet, how can I expect to make any real progress? Well, we all share a common idea of staying completely on task and making as much progress as possible in our small meeting times. We have spoke and decided that we will all be assigned specific tasks that MUST be completed prior to when we arrive to the next meeting. We are all equally held responsible for our own personal tasks regarding the project.
Another note in regards to group work, and our group in particular is how we all bring something new to the table. Seeing as we all have different majors and skills, we are able to all bring something unique and creative to the group. If we are able to maximize these skills we will be able to create a project that is exceptional and completely different from another group.
