Working on your group project? We can help!
04/03/2024
When undertaking a group project, typically you’ll need to investigate a topic, decide on a methodology for your investigation, gather and collate information and data, share your findings with each other, and then formally report back. These activities can be difficult to do on your own but working in a team can create additional challenges! You need to develop new skills to be able to work together effectively and deliver a great final project.
We have put together some handy resources to help you work effectively and successfully with your group.
Join one of our Lunch + Learn webinars or Academic Language Support sessions
