The dreaded group work—most college students do not enjoy group work. Group work can be
difficult. There is usually a freeloader and one or two group members who end up doing
all of the work. The truth is that being able to work successfully
in a group is a soft skill that’s valued by employers and one you will want to perfect
before you go out into the work force. There are very few careers where the work won’t
require you to be a member of a team or a group.
This assignment should be stress free because you aren’t going to be graded. It is a competition
and the members of the winning group will all receive extra credit points. You will
have graded group work in the future and I want to prepare you for that. So, the purpose
of this assignment is for you to practice working in a group and to try out the Blackboard
features required for group work. I am going to be a member of each one of the
groups and I will be monitoring your Discussion interaction and progress.
I am looking forward to viewing your career and college videos choices. So, have fun with
this, get to know your group members, keep to the deadlines, and good luck.
