Collaboration and Communication
A time when I participated in collaboration was with a classmate to make a school project. My fellow student, Sarah and I had to make a powerpoint together on the reproductive system. We had two weeks to complete this as a team.
Working with someone, can influence the amount of time required to complete it. Personally, I like to work by myself, because I focus well and get it done quickly but efficiently. However, Sarah and I worked well together and finished on time, but didn’t procrastinate. We did this by communicating with each other and planning it out ahead of time.
Some key aspects of good collaboration that we had while working together were that we were both very driven and focused and we had good communication. When everyone is driven and focused on the same end result it makes it easier to get it done effectively. Sarah and I both wanted a good grade on the project and in class so we were both driven to make that happen. Also, you have to have good communication or else it will be very hard to work as a team. Sarah and I stayed in contact every day to let each other know what we had done to plan the next steps.
Different learning styles can affect collaboration. Everyone has different ways of learning, but I think it can also be a good thing. Putting two learning styles in collaboration together can lead to more useful information. Sarah and I used our different learning styles and then put them together to get the most and useful information.
A key takeaway from this topic is that communication is key. If you want good collaboration you should start with good communication. Collaboration and communication are great skills to have in life.
