Wiki Group Work
For this first essay, I honestly did not take advantage of the Wiki…I keep forgetting about it. As I look at it today, there are many great suggestions for our Essay #1. I started my essay early this week and was so stressed out that I didn’t think of turning to the Wiki as a resource. I think that adding my thoughts and views to the Wiki was very easy – it’s a required assignment!
As I observed my husband going through graduate school, which was nothing but group work, I believe group work in higher education mimics the reality of the average workplace. There are collaborative efforts to be made to meet project deadlines and other activities.
I didn’t think about it until just now, but I feel group work is essential as part of a writing class because you can receive differing viewpoints, arguments, and opinions about a single topic. As I seek to understand someone else’s point of view, I can receive clarification to their insights and that could enhance my views and I can in turn, express that in my writing.

I agree with you! I am so thankful that we are able to use each other to get ideas from. I did use the WIKI and it helped to give me an idea for the structure of my essay.
