My Reflection on PBL

This is a reflection on my groups PBL.

Work highly effectively and interdependently, identifying and using each other's strengths and skills.
Our group is good at working together when collaborating on task when everyone has to do something.When we get assigned jobs we all get it done to help our group.We use each others strengths and skills when assigning everyone a job.  

Make important decisions that take into consideration different perspectives and the mutual benefit of the group.
Our group is good at compromising our ideas and seeing why the other person wants it a different way. We try to give everyone in our group a job that they want to do. 

Take active responsibility for the way the group works together to create a quality product.
Our group is good at taking responsibility to collaborate on our task to ensure everyone is doing what they need to do to make a quality

Have a good understanding of different points of view, express their viewpoints and empathise, listen and learn from others
Our group has listened to everyone who has had an idea and we have learned from our mistakes that we have made. Next time we could let everyone say what they thought.
