answer two question on a time where you collaborated for a task.
one page paper answering questions on collaboration.write in paragraph format with well thought out sentences and grammar.
At some point in your life, you have likely had a job that required you to collaborate with other employees and/or customers. The same applies to your education thus far. In some situations you have had to collaborate face to face while other situations have required you to use other tools such as technology.
When we think of collaboration with other employees, customers, members of a project team, or perhaps classmates, can you think of scenarios that have demonstrate effective collaboration? Can you think of scenarios that have been less effective? These are really rhetorical questions. For this writing assignment, tell me about the following:
1)Tell me about a time where you have experienced effective collaboration. This could be a situation where you were part of a group where collaboration was done really well or perhaps a situation where you saw other collaborating really well. In this example, answer the following questions:
What challenge was trying to be solved or overcome? In other words, why was it necessary to collaborate in the first place? Please be specific.
What tools or techniques did they use that made the collaboration effective? This could be specific software or perhaps it is nothing more than effective communication that was done face to face.
What were the final outcomes of this effective collaboration?
2)Tell me about a time where you have experienced ineffective collaboration. Like the previous question, this could be a situation where you were part of a team, project, or where you personally felt the impact of ineffective collaboration as a customer.
What challenge was trying to be solved or overcome? In other words, why was it necessary to collaborate in the first place? Please be specific.
What tools or techniques did they use that made the collaboration ineffective? This could be specific software or perhaps it is nothing more than ineffective collaborationthat was done face to face.
What were the final outcomes of this ineffective collaboration?
What specific tools or techniques could have been implemented that would have made this ineffective collaboration an effective collaboration?
This paper is a 30 point assignment. You will be expected to write in paragraph format and in complete, well thought out sentences. There is not really a right or wrong answer. I am trying to understand how you think and can relate to the question. That being said, I will be expecting proper spelling and grammar. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Question one
Effective collaboration is very important especially when people are working as a team whether in their workplace or as students in a class set up. A good scenario of my personal experience in an effective collaboration team was in class when the lecturer assigned some group work that we were to go out to the field, collect data and write a group report on the findings.
