Student-Friendly Guide: Successful Teamwork: For undergraduates and taught postgraduates working on group projects

A must for all students involved in group projects

This concise, practical guide is for anyone placed in a group and assigned a project to carry out. It goes straight to the heart of the matter and deals pragmatically with common student concerns such as:

• How to allocate work appropriately
• How best to communicate and conduct meetings
• How to keep a team together
• How to deal with people who are taking a “free ride” or who try to dominate
• How to work constructively with people one doesn’t know—and people one doesn’t like very much
• How to resolve disagreements in the team
• How to make good use of teamwork experience when looking for a job

This guide helps students appreciate the tensions among the demands of the task, the needs of the team, and their own individual needs. Using this guide, any student can learn from the teamwork experience and make a success of the project!
