Team Projects often require us to be able to write collaboratively. As my teammate mentioned in an earlier post much insightful information about collaborative writing I will discuss the advantages of collaborative writing in a little more detail. The first thing that comes to mind is that many minds are better than one. This is true due to the fact that when working with many people will encourage more thoughts and ideas to be contributed to the writing and these thoughts and ideas will be different and have different perspectives which leads to a better product. Feedback also is crucial to collaborative writing because it allows the team to review and edit the writing much faster and much better than with only one person. When writing with a team there is a lot less stress involved which is also a great advantage for your writing. Also team writing allows for the team members to write more confidently knowing that their team will provide constructive criticism to help make the end product better. There are disadvantages of collaborative writing as it is not perfect, however it outweighs the disadvantages.

Geoff,
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job elaborating on team projects writing! I think it is very relavent to us especially because we're working in a team project right now. I liked that you stuck to our professor’s guidelines and gave a lot of information on the subject and how you can make the information work for you. I think you hit the main points well and provided a lot of detail on the subject.
Great Job!

ReplyDeleteNice graphic. There are a few grammatical errors in your post. Make sure you create enough white space for your readers to follow the text easily.
