Recommended: Benefits and challenges of teamwork

Since the time I started taking computer science classes during high school, I started facing projects that challenged me mentally. But, one of the most difficult projects I faced in my life was in AP Computer Science. When I was in twelfth grade, our classmates had to code a game. Our class never had an experience designing a game; we always worked on small projects independently. This was our first time working in groups. We were allowed 3 students per group and each group had to make a unique game. During those two months, I learned that team work is a really important aspect of professional life. Our group decided to distribute work among ourselves and expected each other to finish it. Since we never designed a game before, it was hard

    By working together there is information sharing, improve safety and quality also collaboration gives knowledge to other professionals. (Littlechild and Smith, 2013).what I have learned through working in partnership with other professionals was creating a poster related to what each professional does. Some of the professionals I did not know how exactly they work together in partnership. Example: I was not aware of how a radiology would work with a social work and the outcome of that was that Radiology develop and maintain collaborative relationship with medical colleagues and participates in regular meetings with other professionals activities to meet the needs of a service users therefore they collaborate with Social Workers. By doing a poster and delivering information I learned a lot from the other team members, shared experiences knowledge and skills with other group members. Group work made me realise how it is very important to work in multi-displinary team, the benefit of it and what others can benefit from. During the poster each of the student was from different professional however we all had the question but each had to look at it in each profession perspectives. This gave an opportunity to everyone to go and search for each professional and communicate with the rest of the group the outcome of the presentation. By doing that, we exchanged ideas learned from each other’s skills and used it into practice. I have learned about sharing information with others, learned about communication and

    It all began when I was in a group of four in my AP U.S. History class. My peers and I would get a lot of work from our teacher and eventually we all figured out that if we were going to keep up with our college classes and our high school classes then we were going to have to work in teams. So, we all decided to split up our work in order to stay on top of our work. The thing was that we could only sit in groups of four and my main friends were already in a group of four, meaning I was going to find another group to sit with. What I didn’t know was that it was going to be a lot easier to just do my work alone.

  • Personal Narrative: My Experience With AP Physics

    There is no challenge that I won't accept. My curiosity and perseverance through tough situations allows for me to explore information in the world that interest me. One of these challenges came in the form of physics, as I accepted my place in the course without any prior higher level mathematical knowledge. AP Physics was the hardest advanced placement course I have taken due to the conceptual learning that was prevalent throughout the class. I have a self-teaching type of nature: when I don't know how to solve a problem instead of relying on others I look up information myself. My teaching method did not help me, as everything was completely new in that class, even more so than foreign language. Even though my first semester was incredibly

I also realized that cooperation goes hand in hand with hard work.  My brothers and I would help each other with our chores from time to time. I did not know that cooperation works on a larger scale in the workplace, that sometimes one needs help to achieve their ultimate goal.
