3. You have probably had a lot of experience working in collaborative teams in previous courses or on the job.

Brainstorm for five minutes, listing some of your best and worst experiences participating in collaborative teams.

Choose one positive experience and one negative experience. Think about why the positive experience went well. Was there a technique that a team member used that accounted for the positive experience? Think about why the negative experience went wrong. Was there a technique or action that accounted for the negative experience? How might the negative experience have been prevented — or fixed? Be prepared to share your responses with the class.
