Assessment task: Personal Reflection on Teamwork

This is an individual written reflective piece on your experience of working in a team. It is to be submitted separately from the group project.

This task helps to develop important skills which employers look for in graduates, including the ability to honestly reflect on and analyse your own performance in order to improve your practice.
In your reflection, you should discuss your own contribution to your team task and processes, the effectiveness of the group as a team, and what you have learned about teamwork as a result of completing the project. The following questions should help direct your reflection.

Your participation in teamwork:
How did you contribute to the group’s teamwork processes and to the group’s achievement of the task?
What were your strengths (and weaknesses) as a collaborative team member? What did you learn about yourself as a team player?
What would you do differently or better next time you work in a team?

The team’s processes
How did your team operate? What processes did you use (e.g. for planning and allocating tasks, monitoring progress, meeting and keeping in touch, producing the completed work)?
What were the strengths of your team? What worked well?
What issues/problems (if any) did your team encounter? How did the team address them?
How could this particular teamwork experience have been improved?
How could you improve team processes next time you work in a team?
