Something that can be hard about working in a group is that everyone attacks a project differently. Personally I like to set aside one day to write the entire essay and do the presentation. I have a hard time keeping all of my ideas when I spread the essay writing time out for weeks at a time. I also like to write first an outline of each paragraph and what points I want to get across and then go back and edit and fix the sentences to make them pretty and sound nice. Although this way of thinking works for me it doesn't work for my group mates, for they both like to spread out the essay writing and get everything on paper right the first time. This was a big change for me because when writing I had to put more thought into the sentences and with each idea we would produce we would have three brains dissecting it until we had the perfect sentence; this process was repeated hundreds of times until we finally had a finished essay. I think my group mates way of writing an essay is interesting and can produce a very successful essay, for me that way would only work when I'm working in a group setting for I need to be able to converse on the sentences rather than argue with myself about the best way to form the sentence that will get my point across in the best way. A lot of the role I played in the essay writing phase of our project was just building the structure for the essay, with all of the points we wanted to say, and my group mates would go back make the essay stronger. https://www.themuse.com/advice/the-science-of-successful-group-projects
