Group effort and collaboration – how to enhance your contribution to teamwork
"At university, you will ﬁnd teamwork involved in tutorials, project work, role-play exercises and some extra-curricular activities. Understanding groupwork psychology and interactions can help you gain more from these activities. ‘Team thinking’ requires a collective awareness of others and shared skills."

Cooperative learning
"University education involves learning for yourself, but this doesn’t mean that you have to do it alone. Support networks can help. Your fellow students are a learning resource for you, and you for them. By studying together in groups formally and informally you can develop mutually supportive ‘learning networks’ with others on your course. This chapter looks at ways in which these networks can contribute to your learning, both online and in person."

Participating in a team
"As university staff devise innovative learning activities within blended learning models, the scope for teamworking has increased across the curriculum. Students from a range of disciplines can work as teams, even when they may be in different locations. Working within a team in this way is a rewarding way to learn. Furthermore, it can prepare you for workplace practice where employees regularly communicate on video-conferencing platforms. This chapter introduces the theory of different team roles and discusses some essential teamwork skills – for use in person or at a distance online."

Study partnerships
"Teaming up with others as part of your revision effort is recognised as beneficial in many respects. This chapter explores some aspects of this ‘study partnership’ revision approach."

Working collaboratively
"It’s probably self-evident that the ability to work well in a team is highly prized by graduate employers, without me needing to cite lots of surveys. I have a sneaking suspicion that writing “It’s better for everyone concerned if I work alone” in an application will disqualify you from consideration for most jobs. Well, except maybe for the role of a lighthouse keeper! In short, it’s almost certain that your undergraduate degree will involve some team-based learning activities and assessments."

What university involves
"Altered global circumstances have prompted changes as universities have moved, in part, from their traditional practices to modes of teaching dependent on innovative technologies. This revised system – a mix of face-to-face and distance learning – will possibly contrast with your earlier learning experiences. This chapter outlines some of the current features – both old and new – contrasting them with your earlier education so that you know what is expected of you."

Going to University
"Universities are paradoxical – they bring out the best and worst qualities in students simultaneously. But it all makes sense when you realise that universities make demands of you at two different levels – the cognitive and the metacognitive . If you’re not prepared to take responsibility for your own learning at each of these two levels, university will be a frustrating and unhappy experience for you. However, if you relish the challenge of developing new knowledge and skills, then you will flourish in university. The choice is yours."
