Group Work

         Group work, to me, is not only an experience of learning how to cooperate with others, accepting people’s opinion, and giving up some of my thoughts, it is actually about social skills and leadership. Sometimes I prefer working alone, when I’m confident to the subject and feel like I can do it perfectly, since there are always people who just want to sit there and take advantages from conscientious people. But for subjects that I’m not familiar with, I would like to work with others and learn something from them. No matter if I am used to the topic or not, I’m always the big contributor and works really hard. I actually don't care about the sloppy people who are not trying to work because they are going to mess it up anyway. I just think it is not fair to give every member a same grade.  

        

         As regards to why teacher always give us group project, I think they are really trying to help us. If they were too lazy to grade the homework, then they can just simply don't give us homework. Thus, I think there should be more meaning in this. From a short-term perspective, I would definitely help if we go to colleges. And for a long-term perspective, we will be working with other people in a company. It is crucial to understand how to communicate with other people and compromising when there are too many opinions. By that time, I think I would be grateful for all teachers training me to be a sociable person. And most importantly, these experiences might help us be the leaders.
