Question#2

I think the main advantages that I gained from doing the first two assignments were that I was able to work on my group socialization skills, as well as being able to work on my editing ability. I think the biggest advantage overall though would have to be the editing, as I ended up doing the final editing on both assignments. What made it more challenging, but rewarding in the same regards was the fact that I was editing the writing of different group members. With this, you end up identifying different writing styles, and sometimes find certain grammatical mistakes that will be common to a particular individual. But I think with any person’s writing, you will be able to find certain patterns in their writing style, which forces you to think harder, to identify the pattern, as well as seeing the assignment from a different point of view. As far as being able to work on the group socialization skills and having to email the parts of the paper back and forth between group members, it forced us as a group to become more aware of deadlines and being able to communicate the need to meet them more effectively.
