I think the most effective thing that I learned in this module was how to deal with group members who aren’t pulling their own weight. Specifically the part where he said to assign each member a certain role to fulfill in the group and set in stone how the group will communicate with each other through the duration of the project. An example of something from this lesson that I’ve already been using is Google Docs. Google docs is super convenient when you’re working in a group and want to be able to see how everyone else is doing in their respective parts of the project. On most of the applications on Google Docs that serves a note pad that you can leave messages for other group members on which is extremely beneficial when members of the group have busy schedules between classes, work and other obligations. I know that when I’ve used these tools in the past, projects seem to go by much more smoothly than constantly messaging somebody about their part of the project and never getting any sort of response until right before the deadline. Dealing with that can be a pain so if that happens having a contingency plan in place is extremely beneficial.
