The term ‘group work’ or ‘collaboration’ naturally generates a form of deep anxiety and agitation within me; thus the topic of this weeks lecture was not an exciting prospect for me.
As Brian and Rachel discussed our need to form excellent skills of working in groups I continuously agreed as I thought over previous collaborations in which I felt as though the team had let me down. As I have an extremely independent and somewhat controlling personality, I often struggle to work in a group. However the thought of having a stimulating and challenging group does excite me. Thus I will attempt to begin my endeavour with an open mind and follow their tips on collaboration!
