Challenges in group discussions
In this video, Lina and Hayder talk about some benefits of learning how to work effectively in groups. Lina describes this as a ‘transferable skill’, a skill which can be applied in many situations outside academic study, particularly in the work place.
They then go on to talk about the different stages in the process of organising group work, some of the potential problems that may occur, and strategies for avoiding or overcoming these problems.
