TPO-33 - Independent Writing Task Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?When teachers assign projects on which students must work together, the students learn much more effectively than when they are asked to work alone on projects.Use spe

Students in campus are always required to complete various types of assignments, with which I regard the group project as the most beneficial one. It's commonly believed that working together on a group project helps improve students learning efficiency than working alone. I couldn't agree more with this belief and I will explore some of essential aspects of the benefits as follows.

First and foremost, students working together on a group project can always have brainstorms, which speed up the process of problem-solving. This advantage is mostly obvious when you encounter a problem. As is known to all that different people have different minds, and they hold various perspectives over a specific problem. Therefore, people in the group are more likely to spot the points that are over sighted by others, which greatly improve the problem-solving efficiency.

On the other hand, students getting together on a project can learn from each other, which can help expand their sight of view. This benefit is easy to understand since different people specialize in different fields, and the knowledge of that field can compensate for the others' lacking of that kind of knowledge. A simple example will suffice to illustrate my viewpoint. I'm fortunate to have a double bachelor in accounting. And in this class, students are coming from different majors, ranging from environmental science to electronic engineering. During some of the courses, we are instructed to form several groups to do a large project. At one time, we were required to build up a virtual company specializing in environment improvement and came out with a rough plan, as well as a financial arrangement to prove its feasibility. At this project, we had some group members to select the most critical environmental problem and analyze it. While members from electronic engineering could provide the technology support and design a device to tackle the problem. I myself was from the faculty of life of science, and I took charge of monitoring the possible effects that might pose on the local species. Our project went on successfully; with everyone could make themselves useful. And during this process, we were fortunate to have the chance to have a quick look at other fields, which really broadened our knowledge scope
.
Last but not least, working in the group can help students to develop various skills based on their roles. As we know, a group can be composed of group leader and group member. And students belonging to different groups can practice different skills. Take the leader, for instance, a group leader is supposed to be decisive and be able to oversight the whole project, while at the same time to assign assignments to members. Being a leader is undoubtedly tough but it would really cultivate one’s potential to become a real leader. On the other hand, being a member should learn to follow the instruction from the leader, learn to obey while at the same time vocal different ideas if you find another way to solve the problem. This experience can also allow students to practice communities’ skills, learn ability, too

In conclusion, it is much more beneficial to work together on a group project than work alone since it helps the students to gain more knowledge, and skills
