The most challenging part of working in groups is finding a
suitable time for everyone for the meeting. In my case, my group failed to get
together due to the busy schedule of some of its members. However, I was able to
meet with one member of the group twice, and our meetings were very successful.
We enjoyed our discussions, and exchanged experiences and
opinions. I think group work is a very
useful tool for learning through interaction, but it needs to have clear roles
for committing to the meetings and contributing to the discussions, and should
be assessed individually.
Hello Fatima. I can relate to the situation that you went through of not finding the right time that suited everyone's busy schedule, the same thing happened in arranging for my group meeting.
ReplyDeleteI found myself wondering if we, as a class, could have thought of and suggested to start a Google doc where each group members would highlight available times to meet.
I think it could have been an easier and a practical way to arrange for a meeting on Google Hangouts.
