the best way to approach certain new projects is to assemble a group of people into a team
the reading and the lecture are both about the advantages and disadvantages of group working. The author of the reading believes that this teamwork has a bunch of benefits. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. he thinks that teamwork has various drawbacks.
First of all, the author claims that the project conducted by a team is efficient due to the knowledge and expertise that the whole group has. this point is challenged by the lecturer. he says that some team members fail to work in a group and have no contribution, otherwise in the process of evaluating the project, these people are not mentioned. furthermore, It is not obvious who participated or not.
secondly, the author states that the project will be done quickly. he argues that each of the group works faster than what has assigned to them and find the best solution for the project problems. the lecturer rebuts this. he suggests it is probable that the project lasts longer. he elaborates on this by mentioning that reaching consensus and building agreement in a group is much hard.
finally, the author mentions that team working is not only valuable for the influential members but also it is much a chance for individuals to shine when the consequence of the project is impressive. on the other hand, the lecturer states that some members who have a great idea might be ignored by others. but if the project fails, the fault is on all the members.
To conclude, the lecturer firmly believes that group working has a different kind of problems, and he counters the points made by the reading, whose author thinks it is full of benefits.
