Journal Thirteen

You have finished your group project, As you reflect on the semester how are you feeling about your group? Were your expectations me? What did you learn about yourself? About others in the group? About the pros and cons of group learning?

I felt okay with my group. We had some issues that were never really fully addressed. We just sort of trudged through it though it caused some unnecessary tension. I guess we decided that we are almost done with it and then we don't have to deal with it anymore. I learned that I am more of the type "to step up and get things done" than I thought I was, especially in a group setting. I learned that where you come from really does have an effect on your education and learning. I think a pro of group learning is having someone to help, make corrections, help when you are stuck and to stay on track. I think a con of group learning is that it is so easy to disagree and to have different opinions that can really effect the performance that your group does.
