》实验报告(Sample Report):
About the value of group work, the professor's lecture has cast doubt on the essential points provided in the reading passage. There are several contradictions between theory and practice, in relation to the way influential 'leaders' could run the show either in the right or wrong direction, eventually toward success or failure of the project.
Citing a research by a firm, the professor attacks some "advantages" of group work as illustrated in the passage. For one thing, team members as a whole do not feel especially responsible for success or failure since the results are shared evenly. Further, not every member likes to contribute as much as possible because nobody gets recognition for doing a better job. The lecturer adds that this is because the group "spreads responsibility" to all the members involved.
At another point, experiment is also different from theory. The speaker says that groups are slow in progress, with one meeting after another without reaching an agreement as to which decision to follow. When finally leaders emerge, it is hard to predict success or failure of the project. There is no such thing as the individual team member having a much better chance to "shine," only that, when the project fails, all are to blame. The lecture does not agree with the passage which indicates "taking part in a group process can be very rewarding for members of the team." (Sample writing by Jeenn Lee Hsieh)
