Groupwork
Working in groups enables you develop a number of skills and abilities that are essential for employability. You should approach group assignments as a way to develop these skills rather than focus on the negatives such as getting frustrated with others or feeling you could do a better job on your own.
This guide will give you tips on how to get the most of the process from your first meeting to submission or delivery.
