		+	# What kinds of characteristics do you want in your teammates?
		+	#* I want teammates that are hardworking and dedicated to making a good project. I also greatly prefer if my teammates are skilled in areas that I am not, since it makes for a more well-rounded team at the onset. Additionally, I want teammates that are willing to openly communicate about their progress and any challenges they may be facing in the project.
		+	# What kinds of things make teams go smoothly?
		+	#* I believe the number one thing that makes a smooth team is communication, followed shortly behind by hard work. A team without communication will have a lot of difficulty keeping track of what is being done. Communication can also help to avoid or work around issues that arise, as it allows all members of the team to have input on a problem. Hard work is necessary to ensure that everything gets done on time and with high quality.
		+	# What kinds of things make teams ''not'' go so smoothly?
		+	#* A lack of communication and procrastination can be very detrimental to a team. It is very important for a team to stay in contact with one another so that everyone knows what everyone else is doing, as well as their progress. If a team member gets stuck on their work and doesn't communicate it, it can drag the whole team down. Additionally, if a team member or the whole team is procrastinating, it can lead to a decrease in the quality of the work done by the team.

 #* One problem I've observed many times in group projects is that the members of a group will, over time, begin to value another member's input less and less. Eventually, they will disregard this person's ideas, which ultimately discourages participation. Another prevalent issue in group projects is fairness in workload. If some members of a group feel that another member isn't putting in as much effort, this will hurt the group cohesion.

		+	# What kinds of characteristics do you want in your teammates?
		+	#*In terms of characteristics that I want in my teammates, I look for individuals that have strengths in areas that I have weaknesses. For instance, I am more of a follower than a leader; thus, I look for at least one or two teammates that take initiative and are able to organize the team, but are willing to take input when the team needs it. In addition, I feel that teammates must share a common purpose because establishing an end goal or milestone goals helps with motivation and keeping people to tasks. Also, I find myself comfortable with teammates who communicate with one another and not just about school, but are open to stepback from the "busy work" and get to know each other.
		+	# What kinds of things make teams go smoothly?
		+	#*Other than the main attributes of organization and communication, the one thing that makes a team go smoothly is cooperation. Everyone should be open with one another if someone is struggling to keep up or to finish tasks when need. Cooperating with one another means taking what has been organized and understanding that their has to be open communication. As the cliché goes, "you're only as strong as your weakest link." Thus, by cooperating, you end up figuring out ways to eliminate problems that arise through working on a group project.

 # What kinds of characteristics do you want in your teammates?
-#*
+#*I look for characteristics different than my own when choosing teammates. If I have a specific expertise or bring something to the table, I would want a versatile group and compensate for my weaknesses by choosing teammates different from myself. The key characteristics in a good teammate is that they are reliable, accountable, and open to critiques and suggestions from others. If every one in the group is on the same page and knows what is going on, then that leads to a more effective work environment.
 # What kinds of things make teams go smoothly?
-#*
+#*What makes teams go smoothly is hands down organization. If a group is organized and have a schema to how they are going to solve a problem, this usually makes it easier for every one to stay on task and contribute at the same time. Everything is easier with a plan.

		+	# What kinds of characteristics do you want in your teammates?
		+	#* The most important thing for me is communication. I prefer teammates who put a lot of effort into making sure that they are understood and that they understand others. I also think that a good attitude is helpful. Frustration is natural and we all get discouraged sometimes, but having the ability to at least step back and laugh off your frustration is really valuable.
		+	# What kinds of things make teams go smoothly?
		+	#* Sticking to a schedule. This kind of loops back to the previous question, but team members who know how to organize their time will be more likely to succeed. I also think that different people have different roles in a group setting. There are the coordinators who plan how each person's contribution will ultimately come together, the organizers who do things like keep notes and such, the includers who make sure everyone's voice is being heard, the creator who can solve problems in unique ways, etc. I should mention that I don't think these are voluntary roles; some people are just predisposed to certain habits. An efficient group is one that is diverse in terms of these personality types.

		+	# What kinds of characteristics do you want in your teammates?
		+	#* Teammates who can communicate effectively and thoroughly are highly desirable. Someone who can take criticism and keep moving forward towards the goal of the project. Teammates who work together and make compromises or aren't worried about throwing their suggestions out to improve the project. Trust is a huge part that can make or break the team dynamic and lack of trust can lead to divisions within the team.
		+	# What kinds of things make teams go smoothly?
		+	#* Very similar to characteristics desired in teammates, what makes teams work smoothly is good communication and compromise. Not everything can go the way one person wants it to, nor should it. Unless the rest of the team is dead wrong. That's typically not the case, but there are ways to compromise and get what both parties want or believe to be best for the project.
		+	# What kinds of things make teams ''not'' go so smoothly?
		+	#* Anything that causes a divide among teammates such as bad communication or subtle jabs at another teammates ideas. Neither is productive towards the end goal of producing a viable product. Sometimes people take it upon themselves to do everything instead of sharing or delegating the workload.
