Writing in a group
Writing in a group is probably furthest from my preferred style on an assignment. People don't always necessarily have the same points of view, so if I write in our paper that green is the superior color because it's the defining color for earth, and life itself; someone else in my group may argue that blue is more superior because it is the color of water, also providing life, and the third person could argue that yellow is, because it's the color of the sun which, is indeed the main life source for anything on our planet. No one is wrong, but no one is right. It's all a matter of opinion and personal preference. You can't fully be comfortable with taking out parts you don't agree with, if someone else wrote them. Who would I be to say that someone else's opinion isn't right? I just highly prefer to work on assignments alone. I feel like I can get the work done faster, and more effectively. But hey, that's my own opinion.

GREAT post!! I agree with you that the differences in opinions is the most difficult part of working in a group. You phrased this in a unique and easy to understand way. Good job!
ReplyDeletevery good point on the personal opinions of others being difficult to edit when doing a group project. I have many similar struggles with group projects especially when someones opinion dosn't match mine and I want to change it but feel it's not my place to interfere with another's opinion because I hate it when people don't accept mine..
ReplyDeleteI had the same experience while working in my group. And it doesn't have anything to do with how I feel about my teamates, it's just that I had a hard time getting on the same page as them. One started writing before we even talked to each other, another was going to be in charge of wrapping things together and finishing the draft, and the other didn't seem to understand that to write a professional paper you have to cite credible sources when writing a paper. I definitely like working alone on writing assignments.
ReplyDeleteI believe that is very important to learn to work in groups simply because for those that we want to be in the medical field team work is crucial. Do not get me wrong! I also think is difficult to write a document in a group, but if get all the information organize and divide the work I think we can have a great paper.In the Real world companies expect employees to be independent workers, but also team players.
