Working together

We all have our own comfort zones in terms of how we like to work setting our own conditions to get our work done independently. This means we may have individual expectations of how we think things should be done. However, if we transfer these working expectations onto others, it can lead to disappointment and frustration, which can create rifts in the team.​

By sharing your working habits with your team, so your teammates understand how you work, the group can strategise how you can all best work together.​ Learn about each other’s working preferences and habits which could have an impact on your study time. For example:

• The optimum working time​ for individuals (day/night/weekends etc.)
• The conditions which may impact someone's study time (childcare, job etc.)
• Preferred place for working together and independently (library, home etc.)
• What each person is good at and what they would like to learn.

Your goal is to establish your working compatibility and optimum meeting times for the successful completion of your group project.
