Team Building and Collaboration

In my opinion, the hardest groups to adjourn from are the groups that had shared a common goal. I had many group experiences and I find that I can leave most of them easily because my experiences were mixed. Some group members I worked fine with while other team members were unreliable. I was often glad when our groups had finished their assignment. However, some of the teams I work with, the adjournment stage was harder. It was with groups that in which all participants worked hard on a common goal. We had a vision and work collaboratively to achieve our goal. We often went out for lunch or dinner to celebrate our achievements and I am still in touch with some of them.

When I think about leaving my classmates from my Masters behind, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I am glad because I will have achieved my goal of earning a MA degree. On the other hand, it will be sad to see some of my colleagues go. I learned a lot from discussion questions and blog assignments and  think the collaboration was great.
I think the adjournment stage is important because everyone feels a sense of achievement. When you work hard on a common goal and vision and see it achieved, it gives you a sense of reward. Just as teamwork is important, adjourning and reviewing all that has been achieved is equally important.
