Reality VS Ideals: Collaboration

In chapter four of the text, it summarized the necessity of collaboration, the frequency it occurs in the twenty-first century, and methods of practice in the work field. Nothing ever goes to plan, something that the fourth chapter should of talked about. In the book, it pretended that a group was clay, malleable and custom to change, which would harden over time and hold strong once the structure was in place. Groups that collaborate are more like different chemicals combining into a test tube. Results can vary depending on who you team up with and what properties they have. Taking a step back from fantasies, the work done in reality wasn't done according to the book. We all worked as rational and experienced writers, each of us attacking the problem in our own way. In the beginning, we talked about what the question meant and who would work on which, but after that, we pounded out answers in our own mind sets. It may not of been as formal or formatted as a college paper should of been, but it was done in quick and orderly fashion, and the reasonable answers from each collaborator was there.

In short, we didn't follow "effective collaboration" procedure, but the assignment was completed none the less.
