Document Summary

We all get to work in groups with our classmates in different courses but this time i learnt a lot of things while being preparing for our group project. As this semester was a big change in my life, i got rid of lots of my drawbacks which i usually faced in my four semesters. In this assignment, i am focusing on each and everything which i learnt from group work, what difficulties we faced and how we tried to handle them with team skills. After working with these brilliant team members i have learnt a lot of things from them and hope so they might have gained something from me probably. I am also going to write about advanced communication skills which we used to complete are group work and also analyzing my personal behavior and write about what i have learnt being in a group of students.
