At University most courses will include a group working assessment. Instead of completing this assessment individually, you will be required to complete it as part of a group. In group work assessments the group will often be given one grade for the submission of the whole group. Learning how to work within a group is a vital skill, as most job roles will require you to work within a team towards a greater goal. The guidance on group work will give advice on how to effectively work within a group.
Building strong relationships and learning to collaborate effectively with others is an essential skill to develop during your time at university. This skill is valuable not only for your studies but also for life outside of formal education helping you achieve success in your future career.
While collaboration and teamwork can be challenging, they can also be rewarding. Building relationships with your peers and navigating boundaries and obstacles often lead to more successful achievement of collective goals. Use the guide on Building Relationships and Effective Collaboration to develop your skills.
