Completing a group assignment shows experience in working collaboratively in a team based environment, which I have done throughout schooling and university. An assessment required us to work in groups of two or three, and then cover a topic relating to the disciple we are currently studying. As an external student this required finding group members online via a discussion board and then contacting them personally. It is a lot easier to work as a group when you are set to meet at certain class times and meet face to face, but as an external student there isn’t a lot of time where all members are free. This results in most group work occurring online. Through contacting via email to send our parts of the assignment to each other and draft them, along with text messages and phone calls we were able to complete the group assignment with fluency. We were able to work collaboratively and meet deadlines, resulting in a strong grade for the assessment
