Success in Groupwork (Pocket Study Skills)

Using examples of real students' successful group projects, this succinct and supportive guide will help students tackle group assignments with confidence. Bite-sized chapters take students from forming a group and establishing roles through to dealing with conflict and delivering a group assessment. The book contains practical advice on making decisions and active listening, alongside opportunities to reflect on progress and identify opportunities for improvement.

This is an essential resource for all students who are expected to produce a group project as part of their course, regardless of their level or discipline.
