Dear Brian
You introduced the concept of groups well in the first paragraph. Classroom teams can be compared to organizational structures. The division of classroom teams into many units indeed helps to facilitate team effectiveness in the learning process. In support, teams have different roles, and many students tend to develop a tendency of working towards the same goals as the other team members. The knowledge and skills utilized in classroom teams are diversified. The composition of groups is a random process which happens in line with the categories of assignments. In the second paragraph, school teams are indeed affected by the randomized selection process with interfering with diversity in the teams. In support, team development is a significant challenge in class teams. Teams are initially created without leaders who latter emerge to be the people who reach out to the other members first. In support, the most effective teams are the ones which receive regular guidance from the professors to encourage discussions and involvements of all team members.

Dear David
I agree with you that sometimes class teams can be frustrating during college life and could end up giving learners bad experiences. In support frustration from class, teams are present due to the categories of people in a group. Some are only free riders in the group while others want to take charge of the group. In support, class teams move straight into performing the assigned tasks by sharing parts of the assignment amongst the team members which happened close to the due date. In support, many teams in school do not reach the adjournment stage. Teamwork becomes inefficient and frustrates when norming is flushed out and assignment divided amongst the team members. In support, it is sporadic to find a group where participation and contribution come from every member of the team. Many teams are not well coordinated.
