Mary Balducci's Responses

  1. I would want for my teammates to be available if I have questions about the work, and also to feel like they can ask me questions. I would want us all to share equal amounts of the work, and to be able to get in touch with each other if we need help with something.
  2. I think communication makes teamwork go smoothly. If we are all able to tell each other what we're working on and how we're doing it, I think it helps everyone better understand the project being done. This also includes being responsive to questions and figuring out who is responsible for each aspect of the project together.
  3. I think teamwork does not go smoothly when members of the team are not responsive. I think it's harder when I'm not entirely sure what another person in my group is doing, or if I have a question and they are not available to answer it.

Zachary Van Ysseldyk's Responses

  1. As far as characteristics for a teammate, I value those who do not procrastinate and plan out how the assignment will get done to avoid unnecessary stress. Stringing along the same thought, I think that communication is crucial so that every person on the team is on the same page. I would also value those who assume the same amount of work as everybody else so that we all get a fair and well deserved grade.
  2. Bleeding in from question 1, I think that solid communication and a laid out plan will help the project go smoothly. Knowing when things will get done and how long they will take will help for smooth project completion.
  3. On the other hand, poor communication will greatly negatively affect a project. People might be doing the same things, people might not understand what they are doing which leads to frustration and division among the team. Also if somebody does not put in a sufficient amount of effort, this will anger others as the person who didn't do the the work should not receive the same letter grade.

Dina Bashoura's Responses

  1. I would like a partner who is well equipped in computer science, since I am lagging in that department. I also would like my partner to be good at communicating so that we can distinguish who should do what task and work together to make the overall project flow.
  2. Things like communication, trust, reliability, and good team chemistry make teamwork go smoothly.
  3. Things like lack of communication, doing sections not assigned to you or not assigning sections at all, not showing up to group meetings, and not being prepared when group meetings take place are things that make teamwork fail.

Eddie Azinge's Responses

  1. I don't find myself requiring very much from my teammates, just that the work that they hold themselves accountable for gets done at some point or another, and that inconsistencies in their work do not end up propogating upwards and affecting the status of the entire group, specifically because everyone has their own circumstances and priorities; as long as they deliver on their promises they're good in my book.
  2. Communication is key to teamwork; but trust and flexibility also play huge roles as well.
  3. Somewhat antithetical to the last question, a lack of trust and need to keep constant tabs on the members of the project often leads to rushed work, resentment, and dissidence within the team.

Edward Bachoura's Response

  1. I am looking for teammates that are flexible with their schedules so that we can actually find time to meet. Also, looking for teammates that are accountable for themselves.
  2. I find it important that whenever you work on a team, there should be some fun involved with the assignment, no matter the topic. When everybody is happy, it is usually easier to do the work at hand.
  3. Teamwork doesn't go smoothly when someone is unaccountable and makes themselves become more a negative weight rather than a help on the team.

Antonio Porras's Responses

  1. What kinds of characteristics do you want in your teammates, and why? I look for teammates who are willing to take initiative and are able to communicate effectively about what needs to get done and what needs to be changed. Team members who aren't willing to speak their minds makes the process difficult and I look for these qualities because I want our group to achieve our goal and do so effectively.
  2. What kinds of things make teamwork go smoothly? Communication is extremely important in my opinion and there has to be someone taking charge with respect to delegating some tasks. I actually prefer not to be in this position but instead delegated a task because once I have some responsibility I take it seriously as it represents my work ethic.
  3. What kinds of things make teamwork not go so smoothly? Team members who put off work put a lot of pressure on the entire team. In addition, teams that don't have a uniform direction can be misdirected and may even miss the target in terms of goals.

Emma Tyrnauer's Responses

  1. The kind of characteristics that I want in my teammates are good communication skills and responsibility over their contributions (in terms of meeting deadlines and asking for help when it is needed). Furthermore, I think being detail oriented is important in group setting to ensure everything is being completed properly.
  2. Good communication and collaboration makes teamwork go smoothly. The ability to divide and conquer is very important so that while the assignment is completed in a group setting and collaboration occurs consistently throughout the process, the strengths of each team member are being used and emphasized.
  3. Bad communication and a lack of responsibility make teamwork go not so smoothly. Also, not being able to trust your teammates and ask for help when it is needed represents poor teamwork.

Blair Hamilton's Response

  1. What kinds of characteristics do you want in your teammates, and why?
    • For a teammate I would like organization when it comes to deadlines, but also able to work independently of the group. Being able to disperse tasks is very helpful when it comes to big projects, so having a teammate who appreciated independent work, with good communication can be super helpful. I also would love a teammate who can critique my work as well in order to make sure the project as a whole gets done well and accurately.
  2. What kinds of things make teamwork go smoothly?
    • In order for the project to smoothly, communication is a big part. If a partner is being silent or not asking questions when he/she is confused, then the project suffers.
  3. What kinds of things make teamwork not go so smoothly?
    • Partners who don't contribute, don't ask questions and don't follow up make projects go not-so-smoothly. Deadlines and helping the entire group project makes it go quicker and much easier!
