Working on a team can be both a rewarding and challenging task. Among its many advantages, one advantage that has proved true for me has been that many minds working together produce a greater number of possibilities for writing and produce a greater quality of work all together. In a group essay I was required to write for a class, I was paired with a classmate who had many different useful skills than I had. However, writing collaboratively also requires more time throughout the process, as two people with conflicting ideas and opinions collaborate to create the end result. While writing the 8-page paper would have normally only taken a few hours, it took nearly twice as long to reconcile our opposing ideas and consolidate the mass of ideas into a single, cohesive paper.
