9. Working in groups – getting started Pick groups based on the project rather than the groupmates. –Groups who LIKE their project are far more productive than groups who like each other. –Another way of saying this : It is easier to learn to like your partners than it is to learn to like your project. Get to know each other –Have food/drink –Find out what you have in common Make sure you have the same goals –Are you trying for an A or a C? Be aware of everyone’s work styles –What times and places are best to meet?

10. Working in groups – constructive communication Let everyone have their say –Different people have different communication styles –Try taking turns, going around the table, etc. Capture ideas on paper, then discuss (criticize) the ideas, not the person Find something nice to say (praise first) Ask questions, propose alternatives; be cautious about definitive statements Be open and honest
