As for me I really dont like working in groups because everyone can be confused about the role in which they chose to take. I myself personally if not the leader of course I would most defintely be the supporter or the faciliator. When working in groups doesnt matter the project, you have to make sure that everyone is clear on the topic and what they have to do. Some people tend to be lazy an not do there part when they know that every one in the group will be recieving the same grade, so at that point it is left up to the leader/problemitizer to pull the strings a make sure everyone is doing thier part to recieve a better grade.
When I work with a group, before we even come up with a topic I like to brainstorm n the ideas and see who mainly into that topic and fromt hat point you can pretty much determine who will lead, support , facilitate and become the problemitizer. I myself depending on the topic and how knowledgeable I am on it will take the lead role and facilitate as well but if its something that I have little interest in I will support and facilitate...I dont think there is a role that I ever wanted and wasnt appointed for it or just didnt get. As long as I have a part in the group I think everything will fall together.
My biggest concerns is finding topics that everyone can agree on and are willing to actually come together and take the time to meet and do their part. You have the person who never has time to meet with the group, always email their ideas instead of meeting with the group, the one who waits until the last minute to get involved after everything has been put together.
I think that as long as everyone can decide on a topic together an agree this is what they want to work on everything will be fine. Dont just allow others to forcefully chose a topic tht your really not interested in because it will just be a one persons topic and not a group topic..
