Our project began with brainstorming sessions on how to approach the task at hand. On this first level, we were discussing about so many information that we felt it was time that we pulled those ideas together and start working on the project. Each of us did our share in the project and later a meet up was initiated to discuss and compiled our information.
Each individual in a team has their own strengths and weaknesses. When learning teams are properly structured and everyone is contributing 100 percent, it can be an effective method of developing skills and sharpening existing ones. Within this paper, I will summarize my individual contribution to the team project and evaluate the effectiveness of my contribution to the success of the team project. Additionally, I will identify the areas where I believe additional training and more opportunities to practice would be helpful.
My contribution helped make the team project a success. I encouraged team members to brainstorm and I provided ideas and inputs for the assignments. I spend a considerable amount of time working with team members on specific tasks of the project, concerning my area of expertise, to assist the team in reaching project goals. I demonstrated strong participative skills throughout the project, in multiple project areas. Each of the team members was assigned a portion of the assignment to accomplish and eventually everyone inputs was pulled together, proofed the paper for grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors, posted the proofed paper for review and team members approval, and posted the finished product to the assignments-write-only folder.
As far as areas where additional training and more opportunities to practice would be helpful, I do not see any. Overall, I think University of Dublin does a great job in laying out the requirement for the team projects. Additionally, I like the diverse settings of the teams. I have learned so much from my team mates.
