The document discusses the results of a survey about students' experiences with group work. [1] 64% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that their group work experience was positive. [2] The positive experiences included working well together, improving negotiation and conflict resolution skills, and listening to other peoples' views. [3] However, some students reported contributing less due to issues like not understanding the task or preferences to work alone.
