Are you suitable to work/study alone or in a group? Do you get on well with other people? What are the advantages of groups?What type of learning/working do you like?
Share your experience to the others.

I like studying alone especially when i have enough materials at my disposal. However, studying alone earns me basic knowledge of any giving situation; allows self initiative and evaulation at first before any group dialogue. It increases effective participationin group study.
While group study is simply another learning process in unveining the looms and hidings. i like group study

I prefer working alone. I can get well on with people, and I found it is waste of time to do that. My character is not like that and I will force myself if I do that. I don't wanna.
But I can work well with 2-3 people group. It interests me more than I say.

i would prefer studying in a group of 5 because of the advantage group work has on knowledge creation and building(learning from one another), it creates a feeling of belonging and provides an arena of self examination as opposed to studying/working alone.

I am used to working on my own; it is nice to work at my own pace. The downside is that if I become "stuck" I may not be able to finish an assignment on my own.
I like working with groups and being able to share ideas with others and have support. The downside of group work is that it is hard to divide work evenly. In many group projects, one or two people do most of the work. Some people may be left out. Also a lot of time may be wasted because of socializing, coordinating,...
I learn best by doing - writing down my ideas, solving a problem myself, etc. I don't learn much through listening. I can learn some things through reading.

 . And an important thing of working alone is our success will not be shared with anyone.
Harret, I think I can work with a group of five too. I usually manage a studying group in my class. I think all of them are pleased with tasks they are given. But besides the matters of learning, I don't know what to say with them.

Thanks. But it is a very hard work to me. I can contact with many classmates and make them laugh but it is just that. That 's all. It is someone's own choice. But sometimes I wish I were them

I read an interesting article yesterday " Birth Order". It explains the common characteristics of children in the family .If you are interested in it too , I will send it to you, speaker.
The truth is that I have a good relationships with people around-children, youth, the old...It is my good luck. But my bad luck is I can not allow myself to make it deeper.
I said that I could make people around me laugh. They are the people that sit nears me in my lauguage class, my roomate. That is all.
I believe that there is something more important than happiness or going to heaven( which people usually say )is looking for people who are suitable to us. FRIEND is a hard word for me to use popularly. When we are at the last minutes, we just can count "our friends" by hands.
