here’s another integrated essay about group working; thank you very much for your help!
Both the reading passage and the lecture present the topic of group work. By putting the focus on disadvantages of group works, the professor casts doubt on the points made in the reading passage that group work just consists of positive aspects.
First, the professor begins by stating that group decisions take a much longer time than individual decisions; put another way, the process of solving a problem in a group is an extremely procrated process as every group member has his own perspective which he wants to be integrated in the group decision. Therefore, according to the professor, finding a solution ends up debating a long time and thus wasting time. This directly challenges the assertion in the reading passage that group work leads problems to be solved more quickly since a group comprises many different members with a high amount of abilities, which therefore will result in increasing abilities of the whole team.
Furthermore, the professor makes clear that groups are not more creative than individual workers. In fact, often one or two group members appear to be some kind of a leader or a boss; therefore, other group members cannot participate. That is why working in groups is not beneficial at all in terms of getting a creative solution. This contradicts to the view of the reading passage saying that the results achieved in group work often tend to be more creative, original and interesting than the results achieved by a person who has worked alone.
In addition to the aspects of time and creativity, the professor takes another problem into account. Even though he agrees that group work might be lessburden some than working alone, he explains that there is the risk of one group member being lazy and letting all the other group members the work do. Nevertheless this worker will benefit from a successful group decision caused by hard work of the other ones. This does not concur with the point made in the reading that group workers are inclined to take more risks as his group members will help each other if there are problems.
