Week 8: Discussion Question 2

2). Discuss the usefulness of the first or second major course assignment.  Please use specific examples in your discussion.

The first Major course assignment was useful in the fact that it helped me learn how to work with other without having to actually meet in person. I learned for the first time to work with others in real time. Working with others through e-mail is challenging when others don’t reply right away but it taught me to have patience and to have understanding. Learning to work with others in an environment where your grade depends on others was a hard challenge for me to overcome. Personally I like to do everything myself so having to work with people is hard for me. But from the first assignment I was able to learn to relay and trust in my group mates that the paper assignment would get completed and turned in on time. This is something that I learned and it’s something that I’m continuing to work on everyday.
