The teamwork module highlighted some key points for me and showed me several ways to improve on my skills in working with a group. I have had several bad experiences with groups in the past, but after identifying the issues using this module, I feel like i can ensure that i do not make the same mistakes twice.
Overall the survey provided useful insights that would allow my group to function more effectively - by making sure that all group members were included and that work was distributed fairly. However, I (and my group) already are functioning well, so this advice is mostly redundant.
However, I still have some concerns about the group itself. We have already chosen a topic ('Rick Rolling') but with this topic comes the ridiculous ease to get off track. Furthermore, the group tends to 'split' in group meetings with half the group in a conversation and the other half in another. However, both these issues can be avoided; by staying focused on the goals of the assignment and by ensuring that all group members partake in a large-scale group discussion.
I also wish to ensure that I am a group member who can be relied upon and does his part for the team. I wish to be a group member who doesn't get 'carried' and ensures that everyone in the group feels included and feels happy to be part of my group. If I can ensure this, then I feel like I will be a good group member.
