You are about to take on your first major group project. Interesting things happen during this experience. You meet new people, you begin to hate your friends, you stress out too much and your head pops like pimple and oozes for awhile. It's hard to say what personalities work well together. Some groups have too many leaders and they long Clint Eastwood style staring contests of who is going to back down. While other groups have have no leadership and will have long feline style staring contests to see who will give up and start working. This week's blog is dedicated to group work. Talk about a good group or a bad group situation you have been in. What made that group work well or not work at all. 50 words and no names when speaking negatively.

Group work is all about leaders and followers. Most of my past group work experiences have been succesful because there was always someone who stepped up and got the job done. They would express their ideas and listen to other ideas as well. When your in a group that doesn't have a leader you may be destined to fail. When in a situation like that, that's your chance to step up and become a leader yourself.
Tori Leitch
ReplyDeleteBeing in a group can sometimes be very difficult if you have more then one leader in the group. When this happens it usually causes a lot of predicaments because both people want to do seperate things and neither will give at all. Its best to have all leaders of you want to get a job done thought because all of them are hard workers.

ReplyDeleteI took that test thing and I am ESTJ.
I've been in some good groups that worked hard to achieve the set goal. I often feel that I am not a leader because I'm not that great with coming up with ideas. These groups that I've been in have been able to come up with an agreed idea that, in time, led us to recieve an 80 percent or above. Groups need to have people that know eachother or can work well together. Otherwise nothing gets done and everyone blames anyone they can, generally it turns out pretty ugly.
I agree with your quiz score, especially after grading your Chaucer image.
ReplyDeleteWell if you agree then this quiz must be accurate.
ReplyDeleteum group work is lots of fun. i enjoy group work and the groupies which are involved with. If you work in a group you can A. become closer with a friend you already know B.become friends with someone you previously didnt know. C hate someone you thought you already hated but never gave them a chance and now you did but still hate the.Those are the reasons group work is great if you disagree your an idiot.

ReplyDeleteAll groups are different in how much effort each group member puts forth. Some people are okay with failing, so they drag down the grades of other people in their group, or make other people in their group have to work harder. In most of the groups I've been in, I do my fair share of the work because I don't want to fail. (except for that poem we had to write about The Wizard of Oz where Spencer wrote the whole thing.) But groups can also help you get to know new people and when working as a group on a project you get to see everyone;s perspective on the project which can be helpful.

One time we had to do a rollercoaster project in 8th grade and i had a group with all of my friends. The only problem was that we all had the same woth ethic that was basically non existant. So we waited til the last day to make our rollercoaster and we ended up getting a D.

Every day we involve ourselves with teamwork. No matter what we do, we usually team up to get through whatever events we consider doing. Most know me for being independent and staying away from others, yet when arriving home, i make enough time to play some games with my friends from Calvert and H-town for a few games of Gears 2, where we obviously need someone to coordinate how and where we move to, to actually be successful at overthrowing the competition, then move about to rub it in their faces showing superb sportsmanship. We're all programmers, so we tend to see things from a perspective of where and when and how they can move about, so we just tend to adapt to the surroundings with a single move, and the person best adapted to the situation of the time calls out some orders, and we have an unspoken agreement to listen, unless we see something they miss, and can correctly identify it. So overall, a group of programmers who have a need to analyze every aspect in the game, and take turns of leading depending on our specialty, as all people are different, and tend to concentrate on different problems, so for a group to work in my opinion is an assortment of people that could look at a problem from different angles and different habits, to be successful. There is no losing with this setup.

I haven't taken the test yet, but I'll be lamely obvious by saying that I'm in the first set of catgegories beginning with "I". Quiet, shyness, reserved, etc... suits me pretty easily.
Onto the topic, I agree with quite a few things already been said. There are many factors that contribute to an efficient group, mainly the people themselves. If they know each other, that can either make or break a good team. (Honestly, you're going to goof off with your friends at some point.) Too many leaders ends in a struggle for dominance in the group, and no leaders at all results in an uncomfortable and detatched atmosphere. Combined work ethic is also pretty important, too. If everyone works hard, things are completed immediately. If not, well...that affects the resulting grade.
Needless to say, if a group is inefficient, you're better off working alone if you care about the quality of your work.
I usually dislike groupwork. Sometimes it works out nicely: we settle a game plan, get our work done, and even chat a little to get to briefly know one another. But I really, really detest a group when they're filled with people that don't want to work or use that "feline" stare. I never quite noticed it before until now, but I like it when there's a plan and when people in the group can be actually trusted to do the work assigned to them. I like that cooperation, and especially a friendly atmosphere that encourages everyone to speak up. It helps me crawl out of my shell, and it even makes presentations less strenuous when you have good partners by your side.
In general, I'm normally a follower, but sometimes I take the reins. Sometimes. I simply assume the role since I realize there's no point in sitting around wasting time. But I can never get used to it, and I neither like it nor dislike it.
But I prefer letting someone who knows what they're doing take mild control, since they ought to do a far better job than I ever could.
That's how I often think of things overall, come to think of it. Hm.
It's Miss Lowery to you!!!!!
ReplyDeletepd 6!
I think that it will always be hard when you are working with a group of people. Personalities collide and people start screaming and biting...lets just say it DOES NOT end well. when the project is over and turned in there is a great sense of accomplishment. when we get that A+ it is even better!!!!!! plus while working with a team you create alot of friendships and fun memories. i work with a team/group for marching band and ROTC. I love it and i love my groups!!!!!!!!!!
Being the quiet, small one that I am, I tend to be the one standing off to the side staring at the others as they bustle around doing work. Unfortunately I was in a group made up of completely introverted people and no one was getting any work done. We were all shuffling around in our binders and folders, attempting to look like we were actually doing something, when we were just shuffling through our torn up vocabulary lists repeatedly. So I, being the completely amazing person that I am, stepped up to the plate and started the work we were supposed to be doing and as soon as I had one of the problems done my whole group started fighting each other trying to look over my shoulder and get the answers. Hopefully next time we’ll have at least one extroverted person in the group, someone who might be able to get us all motivated to do our own work…
ReplyDeleteAll honesty, I hate group work. Though who the people are in the group matter as well, I just rather work alone. How group work usually works is that you are given a grade based off all of the teams work put together. I want the best grade I can get but if there is one slacker in the group it affects everyone grade and it make me mad. I don't want to get a bad grade just because slacker rather sleep threw the period. I rather be in total control in my work, that way I can only blame myself for whatever grade I get.
ReplyDeleteWhoops, Last post was by Cassie. :] P.1
ReplyDeletei hate to work in a group most of the teams i been on in the past we had all cheifs and no indians everyone wants there idea to be done and if the others dont like they wont do anthing im that guy thats just wants it done and over with just as long as we do it and the right way so as long as im on a team i want one person to be in charge.......ME!! that we get the work done. larvelle
ReplyDeleteBryan Miller
ReplyDeleteworking in groups can be different. i normally prefer to work alone because i get more done with out the distractions. but sometimes i am lucky enough to get in a group where all the people get there work done too and don't just slack off and try to slow me down. so i guess it all depends on who is in my group if i like working in them or not. and larvelle you don't know anything about working in groups, your always asleep in class and never know whats going on.
well most groups i have been in have worked out ok. at first its kinda sketchy but it evens out mostly. Some good groups ive been in are the soccer team and a few project groups last year. they usually work out because everyone dosent hate everyone and communicates well. I know this year will be something else working with dom on a few things.. hes alil odd. but cool sometimes lazy but for the most part alright haha

ReplyDeleteI would like to start by saying that I took my personality test and read my description and it pretty got me down perfect. Now in regard to group projects... I like ghroup projects but I don't trust people. I have no faith that other people will get done what needs to be done for the group so i take it on myself. Thats my downfall but in all fairness I've become this way because of past events. Many group projects my group left me screwed to do the whole thing alone!
Over the course of my past group experiences, I have noticed that people tend to be more conservative in their approach to solving the ultimate purpose of the group. For example if Creg had a new and innovative way to present their project and he was in a group of peers that were more closely knit as friends, they would most likely give Creg a b.s. reason on why that isn’t a good. Then, the group would eventually do the same thing as everybody else, COMPLETELY unoriginal.
ReplyDeleteAlso, as an ENFJ myself, by the way I don’t know how I got that one, I’m apparently a sensitive person with exceptional people skills. So how is it that I have exceptional people skills, and am obviously very passionate about what I do, that my innovative, original and new unprecedented concepts that it comes of to abrupt and rash to my group-mates?
On another note, why do people automatically make subgroups in a group that small itself? For example, in a group of four, I find it more difficult to reach a decision due to the fact that it usually becomes a 2-vs-2 battle, or in most of my cases a 3-vs-1, battle for “power.” I would seem that, in my situations, that people already have a predetermined idea of what they want out of the group, and not just a decent grade.
People tend to use their past experiences to make new decisions; not a bad thing at all, as a matter of fact kudos to them for being wise. However, the degree of which an individual is willing to push his ideas against the grain is based not just on the person them-self, but how willings their group is to humble themselves to one’s idea.

ReplyDeleteI like working in groups! The only problem is when i get with my friends and we dont work. We usually end up getting it done on the last day 2 seconds before the bell rings. This one time i was in this group and we had to bring stuff in for a project and we didnt want to be mean and tell this person not to do anything because they would mess it up so we gave them a made up part of the project so when they didnt do it we still got a good grade. I think if people are in a group with people they dont know they are less likely to share thier ideas.
Working in groups is fun because you learn more things about your group while working with them. Most Groups i been in everybody did work. sometimes i did have to be the leader to finish the project.
ReplyDeleteWell i have had a little experience with good groups and bad groups. In 8th grade in my social studies class it felt like I did the whole project by myself. And than i have benn in groups in high school that have been great. Rotc has taught me to be a leader and to deligate the work load. I think with a good leader all groups will work out.
ReplyDeleteLinds<3
ReplyDeleteWell a horrible group would be if your the only one working and there are a bunch of half assers that dont do anything, Which SUCKS. A good group is when everyone can work together and get along, and take equal responsibility for work.
Working in groups is certainly a fun time, but it is a double edged sword. Some need to have the discipline to say what's what here and now, and others need to know when they need to chill out. The more people, the easier it is to get off task, which isn't productive at all. Depending on the task, having a variation of personalities can help, such as a Dominant Leader who can organize and help, a quieter knowledgeable one, a few bold ones to throw out ideas and encourage the group. You know what I am sayin'!?
ReplyDeleteAndrew D
ReplyDeleteIn all the group situations I've found myself in I've never really had to step up and be the leader but in all good groups you gotta have a leader and followers because if you don't have someone step into the spot light and be the star/leader than your group sucks cause everyone just stands there with there hands at there sides and talks all monotone but if you have to many people trying to bask in the spot light then you have major conflict over who's getting what role and what not so its always best to find the perfect balance when making your group
sunflowa powa.
ReplyDeleteWell you see.. a good group is a group where everyone feels like doing work and it is exciting work. This usually never happens though. A bad group is a group who sits around or depends on one or two people to do everything. I tend to be the person who sits around. i am not as bad as margarita though she is worthless.
I like group work, and I think it’s great we have a chance to goof around and socialize. During class time, I don’t add much additional support other than the occasional suggestion. I mostly keep the deep thought for when I’m home in a more inductive environment. This is just a personal preference and it probably only works for some. So let’s make the best of our mornings and get ourselves off to a good day.
ReplyDeleteGroup work can work in so many different ways. But for me its usually always good only because im a leader.I take the roll as coming up with fresh ideas, and getting my group to understand.I ask questions when i don't understand too instead of just saying screw it.I personally dont like group work because sometimes i feel as if im doing all the work and that can be hella stressful.But the one we're working on now.is going to be bomb. :)
ReplyDeleteJohn Walker
ReplyDeleteThere was this one group i worked with and nothing would go right cuz we all had so many ideas and if people didnt get there way they would get mad, but finally we found something we could agree on and it worked. i think groups that have similar backgrounds work best together
I love group work! Groups are one of the greatest things ever created. Probably my favorite thing ever. My second favorite thing ever is work. So when you put the two together in a "group work" combo, I'm pretty mucch in heaven. Group work is the best!Thanks Mr. Price! :]
ReplyDeleteI had a good group experience once. It was three of us and we split the project down 3 ways. Both of my group members were very devoted and easy to work with. We all put alot of effort in to our assignment and had a great time doing it. THe project turned out really well.

Group projects work good or bad based on enthusiasm. If someone is over enhusiastic then they want to lead, which is quite alright, but the party that isn't is that people who get too enthusiatic about school work tend to be ding-dongs and then they just lead the group into a hole. There are also other people who don't get enthusiatic enough, the people who half-@$$ their work and bring the rest of the group down with them. Either extreme the group is going into a hole, there needs to be a happy medium between the two for a group to do good.
Jessica Baroniak
ReplyDeleteI think that group work is good.I enjoy it and think that it helps you with your people skills.I just dont like when you get that group where you have to do all the work and no one else seems to really care, or when some one trys to take over everything but that doesnt really happen a lot. But yeah group work is cool.

ReplyDeleteAccording to the myers-Briggs test i took on Facebook, Im a ISTJ. Which i guess is true. I mean it was on facebook so i defintaly is.
But i don't mind groups I could care less if i work by myself or with other people, as long as the work gets done. I can't think of any time where i had a bad group. I think groups work better if we pick them for ourselves. If not, there is either conflicts or someone who is an outcast and gets stuck with all the work. (Sometimes) but it doesn't normally happen if we pick groups..........!

Group work requires some maturity and a lot of responsibility and biting your lip depending on other people. I have never really been in an unsuccessful group ((lucky me)). When I am put in one of those awkward groups with all the "leader" type peeps i usually step back and let them do all of the work. . . and when I am in those dumb groups when everyone is a follower and no one does anything I generally step in and do everything. Balanced groups rarely occur. yep.
Group work and I don't really seem to get along too well. Everytime a group work assignment appears I always get a group that either doesn't want to do any work until the last moment or a group that everyone wants to do different things and it is alomost impossible to work under either circumstance. I like it better when you can actually pick the groups though, that way you're at least in a group that you can stand.
ReplyDeleteBy the way it was Emma Tomalewski on the comment above.
ReplyDeleteEmma Anderson
ReplyDeleteI hate group work. I am a control freak and it's hard for me to allow other ideas in. But then at times, I love it. Especially if I am not keen on the topic. Why am I speaking in fragments? I enjoy working with my friends because we think similarly so our ideas meld easily. But when I'm placed with people of conflicting views, if they don't throw all the work at me I'm likely to back down. I'm often placed with deadbeats because of my unpopularity. The people I associate with often, but not always, don't take school very seriously so it's hard to get them motivated. When I'm grouped with smarter people though, I feel stupid and I tend to let them down. I'm rambling, goodbye. MOUNTAIN DEEEEEW!
Stephen Gedridge
ReplyDeleteGroup work is ok. Sometimes you will get a group with your friends. Sometimes you will just bang it out but alot of the time you wait till the last minute to get it done which isnt so great cramming it in the period before. But when you are with people you dont really talk to its awkward. No one steps up alot and when someone does they are the ones that only do the project. And then you just look like dead weight and then no ones wants to work with you again. So if you are in a group you dont really talk to atleast give some ideas or make the project fun instead of sitting there and look like your about to pull out a gun and shoot everyone in the class.
p.s
im going to get you back Mr.Price and Sloan just you wait
Group work is so awkward, and you usually have to end up working with people that the teacher chooses for you and then you just wanna pee your pants when a particular person that you HATE is in your group then you end up not working because your just so pissed that your right in that persons vacinity and you actually have to share your great ideas with them. If we have group work id rather we make up cards on who we'd rather work with or tell you who we realllly dont wanna work with and maybe that would help alot of groups finish their work because if you don't like the people your working with it's hard to get a lot accomplished.
ReplyDeleteTeamwork is need in the world today. With out it you couldn't eat. Teams works because they have a leader or leaders. But they may not work because the personalities may clash. This is stupid it like the third time I had to type this because it keeps deleting it. Sorry. I had to get that out there. Teamwork can make our dreams work and make work a lot easier if you suck at one thing and some one else is good at it you two could trade work so it would flow smoothly. I like group work because I can do what others say but if need be I can be a leader of a group.
ReplyDeleteTURTLE!!!
ReplyDeleteI love group projects because it is always fun to interact with classmates and become closer to someone that you didn't think you would be just because you normally don't talk to them. There are always going to be good and bad experiences with group projects because not everyone has the same personality and people view things differently, but thats life you just have to be good at not arguing and talking things out. I have been in some groups and had a really good time and gotten a good grade and been happy with everything, but i have also been in groups where there is someone that doesn't do their part in the work and they still get the credit for it. It all depends on the people and how willing they are to put things aside to work together and try to get the best grade possible.
so pretty much a good group is when everyone participates. when no one just sits around waiting for all the hard work to be done and then wanting to do all the easy stuff. Also there is usually a leader, but for most part everyone has a say in what they want to do. A terrible group is when two or more people have a personality of leadership, and they want to be in control. Thats when people start to bump heads and no one gets along to get the work done, or people who just done care. Most of the time people pair up with others who want to get their work done and get good grades, but then there are other times when you dont have a choice who you are partnered up with.
ReplyDeleteIn the past I've been in good groups and bad groups. The good groups I've been in consisted mostly of the same personality. The same ideas the more agreement there will be. The more diverse a group is the less likely there will be one central idea or structure. People are going to do what they feel is right and do what they want. This will cause distractions rather than productivity.
ReplyDeleteI cannot stand working in groups. I always have my own ideas on how a project should be done, and the other people usually try to take over or they don't do anything at all. I was once in a group where the other person jumped right into it without consulting me at all. The person who I was working with jumped onto a computer right away and as I would suggest things to include on our project, they would simply ignore every thing I had to say. They then took the project home to work on it without telling me and because of this, half of the information on the project ended up being wrong.
ReplyDeleteI do no like working in groups, because you are accountable for the other peoples work as well as your own. I would much rather be accountable for myself and no one else. It is only fair.

A lot of my group experiences are bad because i tend to work with friend. When I work with friends, I tend to goof off more than I work. When it gets dangerously close to the due date, I bust my tail trying to make up what should be finished, leaving me very stressed and on edge.
Group work can be stressful and fun at the same time. It always depends on who is in your group. I'm the type of person who likes to get things done and knows what is going on. I'm normally the one in the group that stays on top of things. Throughout high school i've been in a lot of group projects and i've been the one who i guess would be called the leader. I hate the kids who sit there and do nothing!!!! it makes me mmaaddd. BUT it can also be fun, just as long as stuff gets done while having fun it:)
ReplyDeleteCasey Tibbs pd 1
ReplyDeleteI think that when people work in groups that there definately needs to be a leader. someone that is in charge and tells the other people to either get to work or to do something that needs to be done. I do also agree with Jessica and I tend to do the same thing. When i work in groups i goof off and normally it comes down to the wire for getting stuff done. Which definately isnt not a good way to work.
Group projects are fun and I like them. Usually there is a leader or a group of friends that get everything done and then there is the kids that sit back, relax, and get a A. I have been both of those groups and they both have their advantages. Like if you are very busy and have tons of homework in other classes it’s nice to just sit back. Or maybe you feel like your teacher doesn’t think you are a leader and you can prove them wrong. So groups are fun.
ReplyDeletenormaly I don't trust test like that because no mater what result you get people find some way to relate the results to their life. I do think that this test did get it right though. I'm not a straight forward leader. If some one steps up to lead I will let them, but if I think things arnt going well or if things just arnt good enough i will try and stear people in the right direction. If who ever stepped up to lead is absolutly falling apart I'm not afraid to step infront of them and take charg. For the situations where every one plays chicken untill some one takes charg I will step up befor people start go get weird. I hate feeling like things arnt going to get done, so I just do what I can to get it done.
ReplyDeleteDylan Carroll
ReplyDeleteGroup work isn't bad usually. I have the best ideas ever for the most part, and rediculous writing skills, but all I can think about during school is Justin, so I just let someone else take over the "leadership" role. I already did the prologue for this wack project thing we're doin now though, so we're probably gonna bang this junks out son.
Quinn Trudo
ReplyDeleteI've always had good luck in group work. I think its because i get along with everyone so its easy to work well with everyone. When doing presentations with my friends we always have fun so we want it to be good so it will be funny for the audience. If we make it funny we'll be working together better.
My results for that quiz:
ReplyDeleteQualitative analysis of your type formula
You are:moderately expressed extravert
distinctively expressed intuitive personality
moderately expressed feeling personality
slightly expressed judging personality.
----------------------------------------------
Working in a group depends on the type of people you are working with. Too many leaders will cause complete chaos but too many non leaders will cause absolutely nothing to happen. A clash of personalities are able to happen at any given time when you are put into a group of people you don't know so well.
I am the type that can work well with a group, as long as I know that they are thoroughly responsible (they can get they're side of the work completed and done with rather than leaving it for the last minute). Although I prefer to work alone so I can get the damn thing done.

ReplyDeleteThis was back in the 4th grade, when i lived back in this Japan. We were assigned to do a report on a certian country...ours happen to be Australia. In this assigment we were supposed to learn team work, and leadership. We were to color the diffrent regions of countries (the mountain ranges,lakes, rivers, ect.), then write brief paper on it's history, using our textbooks. Well i wanted to be the leader of the group of course, then you had the other two girls who didn't care. So everythign was going my way. That is until our teacher Ms. Price (no relation to you i hope) assigned us another member, someone who didnt get along with me, and i didn't get along with him. He wanted to be the leader, telling me that a boy should alway's be ontop, (hahaha crack your jokes now). So we fought for hours getting nothing done, then finally one of the girls in the group must of had enough, because she tore up our paper, screamed while scribbling all over the country we were supposed to color in, and she winded up bitting the little boy and smaking me on the back (what a freakin beastly 4th grader). We ended up 'letting' her be the leader, in fear of rabies i suppose.
I learned that when your in a group, you need to grow up, not spread disease, and work together to reach the same goal.
My best group work occured during the summer at Boy state. THe first moment we were left to the veterans THey were yelling at us and making us do PT at 5 in the morning. SO the rulling Was if we could make a goverment system for are "City" we could do what ever we want and the veteran guys would leave us alone. Plus we all wanted are cell phones back and to get more freedom for the whole week. All the guys that were in RoTC helped out all the guys that werent so we could march from one point to another and look good Because it was a military setting so we had to do certain military things. In the end it was all worthit We didnt have to get yelled at every day and we stuck with er are rules that we setb for are city. Order was maintained and every one was happy the rest of the time we were there.
ReplyDeletewhen you are in a group it is either a very productive group and you get all the things done or its the group that noone gets along and you fail on the biggest project of the year. i can say that almost all of the groups i have worked with are good groups. everyone has gotten along and we have gotten the job done.except one group i was in not a single person wanted to do anything so i did it all myself and was a tattle tail and told my teacher i did it all and they didnt get any credit for it. lol
ReplyDeletebut for the most part if you all wanna do good on it you work past your differences and you get the job done and do it good =)

ReplyDeletelet's see. i think almost all of my groups have good ones.except for this one time it was a group of 3 and we had to make a poster project. well 2 people out of the group helped contribute to the poster, while the third person didn't do one thing. instead they just distracted us from what we had to do. It was very very annoying. hopefully my group won't be like that this time.

ReplyDeleteI would have to say most of the groups that I have been a part of iin my life have been mainly positive, and rewarding. A good group requires a good leader with partners that are willing to work around eachother without yelling. Though the good out numbers the bad in my situation, I have been in them. A bad group, atleast the ones that I take notice to, tend to work as my dad says with lead in their feet. They don't like to really do anything with any kind of progress.

ReplyDeleteEvery group needs a leader. Without a leader, things never get done. You need someone to take charge but not be too demanding. Leaders need to listen to the groups ideas and put it together to make a great project. I trily believe if no one steps up then the outcome will likely be terrible. So, yeah that's what i have to say. bye now.

ReplyDeleteSome positive experiences because my other group members helped by pulling their end and aknowledged me as a group memeber! Some negative experiences are when I had to do the work by myself because the other group members weren't reliable and I was ignored and/or pushed out of the group.
I have had many positvie and negative experience while doing group work. when it come to doing group work i really dont like to be the leader but usually get stuck doing it anyway. Alot of the time the people i work with arnt as enthuseastic as i am which makes doing all the work alot less fun, im hoping this time it will turn out differently.
