This is my summary of reading:

Benefits of team working for learning and some recommendations to make team working more effective

Researches show that people can learn better in groups because there are interacts and collaborations in team working .
Sharing notes and points that your teammates haven t got, correcting the mistakes of each others, doing library search, inspecting result of exams to correct them are some of these interacts.
But theme says that all group working don’t redound to more effective learning too. It s gave a few suggestion:

Try to select your peers from those who have different interests and thoughts with you because there will be less interacts when your peers and you have the same ideas.
If the member of group is kept less than six , its more effective. Because it cause more relationship and restrain someone to shirk his or her responsibilities in group.


True (T), false (f), or impossible to know (I)
1- T
2- I
3- F
4- F
5- I

Consider the issues
This part has the answer of two question ,I think :

I think being able to work effectively in group is the most important thing because speed of our improvement is less in singularity mode and with this world that is going to be more complicated day by day , teamwork is the best and the only way to improvement.



TEAM–RELATED WORDS AND PHRASES

my summary:
When students study together, they can learn as much as from the instructors. also being variety between peers' interests can help the team in many cases. keeping the team small is also another way to maximizing the power of peer collaboration. being able to work effective in teams is very valuable in today's work world.

:collaborate
we are collaborating to learn English

as always great dear Singleguy
just a suggestion; I think it's better to use the verb 'pass' instead of 'finish' in here: we finished(passed) three credits of physic
n if I were u I would use present perfect instead of simple past for such a sentence

hello everbody!
here my summary but i think it is not very good and not very bad.
have you ever been in a study group? the harvard university reaserch shows that when students are join a team to study they learn more instead of learning from text book or instructors.they are some activities that team member can collaborate on for example sharing the notes after the class , comparing their ideas about reading , and even they can teach someone that he can not do library research and also about comparing their test result with each other to picked up mistakes.i suggest you that if you are a shy to talk to your instructor you can remove it by joining one these groups.but always remember to have only 3 to 6 peers in your group because it is easier to get together after class and choose your teammate from your friends that they have similar interest and lifestyle and make yourself and the others more responresple.it will work.just do it.

hi dear Sada
welcome to this group...hope u find it usefull
needless to say great...since it is obviousl

__________________________________________________ ___________True (T), false (f), or impossible to know (I)One of the main purposes of the reading is to encourage students to form learning teamsTAccording to the article, a team that includes men and women will probably be more effective than a team with only menFTo be successful, learning teams need a strong leaderIIt’s good idea to form teams of people who have similar interestFIn a recent study, virtually all Harvard University students said that joining a study team helped them be more successful T __________________________________________________ _______________________Consider the issuesAnswer the questions blowWhich would help you most? Which activity would help you least? Why?Hold individual team members accountable for contributing to the learning of their teammates.If every individual be responsible for both, his own responsibilities and other members, not only he would try to improve himself but also, he would be worry for the promotion of others as well, and wouldn’t let them to get off the track and shirk their responsibilities, because his only success wouldn’t have any effect. So every body would be his/her and others instructor.in my idea, all the activities are complement to one another and they are perfectly represented, but as I’m supposed to select the less effective, I mention this one. Meeting with the instructor Needless to say, having the instructor in a group is essential but meeting him regularly is useless, it is better to meet him up whenever is needthe authors say that teamwork is one of the most valued skills in today’s work world. Why do you think this is true? It has been proved by scientists, and is undeniable. by looking at animals such as bees…. You can grasp the power of working together, your strength, thought,.. .increase and the possibility of mistakes decrease, _ TEAM–RELATED WORDS AND PHRASESChoose team related words in the reading to complete the questions blow. In some cases there is more than one possible answer.1I enjoy working with all five of my peers-. Each one brings different skills and experiences to the group.2We usually team up after class to share notes and talk about the most important ideas that the professor mentioned.3Some of my friend like to study on their own, but I prefer a learning team to studying for tests and working on research projects.4My learning team was always off track, so we decided to choose an instructor to organize and coordinate our meetings.5I know that I’ll be able to apply the team work skills I learn in this course to my first job after college

how is my dear Afsaneh!
great buddy! Although I've seen ye speaking lots of time, I'd never had the chance of having a look at yr witings, u are really perfect. specially the words u use
great my sweety
by the way Afsaneh, dun u remember Ms Karimi! the only mistake she used to take was: After Let Dun Use Tol
love u buddyl
