In order for this project to be complete it will require good planning and even better communication. With the groups being the same ones used for clinicals will make it easier to try and figure out when people are available because we will see each other not just in in class. This gives us time to talk about the project and figure out what needs to get done even if we are not able to do that during class time.
This project has some different barriers to it than the others we have done in the past. Compared to the group essay we did last semester I feel that the dynamic may be slightly different. The groups for this project were preassigned versus being able to select the groups that people wanted to work with. It might be slightly harder to figure things out. While we have been in class together for a while now not everyone knows everyone, which can make it difficult to make sure people are held accountable for the work that needs to get done. However, once we start to get closer as a team things will start to mesh better and we will be able to figure out the best way to work together. Overcoming this barrier will help us in the clinical practice because it will help us to quickly figure out how other people work and figure out the best way to work with those people. After all working in the clinical setting is a team effort that requires everyone’s collaboration.
