Introduction to a Course on Collaboration - Coursework Example

This is why we work in collaboration especially when working with new people. Collaboration can make tasks easier. Every person can work according to their talent and skills and hence, every person can work according to their interest. However, collaboration is still regarded as teamwork. This is one of the things that I feel are most important for everyone to understand because this may be one of the biggest problems that one may face while working with new people.

Since I have taken this course I have tried to implement all ways of collaboration I have learnt through this course. It is helping me throughout. When I get into a group work I always recommend this kind of work which makes it easier for all of us to work. This course, not only told us ways to work in collaboration but also told us examples where people are working in interdisciplinary collaboration. For example in films, everybody works in their department. The actors are supposed to act, the choreographers are supposed to choreograph; the editors are supposed to edit and so on. During the whole process, nobody interrupts any other work, hence a successful film. During this course, we got many surprising visitors that gave us their experiences about working in collaboration and working according to others’ disciplines and their disciplines combined. They told us that they had their tasks done on time and perfectly. They also shared with us how they kept on a smooth and friendly environment throughout. This was probably one of the biggest inspirations that my fellow mates and I got.

Throughout, this course has offered me a lot to study further. I got the curiosity in me that has led me to do further research on interdisciplinary and collaboration work. I think that this course has helped me and it will help me in the upcoming years. This course has most definitely helped me during the group projects that I have worked on with people I know and people I don’t know. I was surprised how my ideas worked out well once I decided to listen and implement others’ ideas as well. I am really lucky to be a part of this course. Once I get the degree, I know I will be further able to implement my ideas and brainstorm with others. This course went higher than my expectations. I never expected it to be so important and so helpful to me. Directly or indirectly it helped me in many ways. Emotionally and practically, both ways, this course was very helpful. I wish to participate in more courses like these.
