"There are both advantages and disadvantages of group work. Many of these depend on your own personality, as well as those of the people you are working with. Some advantages include:- Several people working together will often be able to finish work more quickly because work is divided amongst a number of people, instead of being handled by one person alone.- Group work allows for more
. discussion and the opportunity to view issues from a variety of perspectives.- Group work is a part of life. Having the ability to work collaboratively will benefit you in the workplace.A few disadvantages of group work are:- There is the potential for personality clashes, which may hamper the ability to accomplish work in a timely and effective manner.- One person may take on more work than others.- If someone does not do their fair share, the entire group suffers. In the academic setting, this may mean a lower grade for the group, even if everyone else has done their part."
