Self assignment 2Statement of Vandy KokerBefore completing the group assignment, I was a bit worried when I found out that it was going to be a group assignment that required the input of each and every group member. This implied that we had to work as a team in order to ensure that our group became successfully in the assignment1 .Working in a team environment where most people are strangers to each other always brings out the nerves because for one, it is quite apparent that most of the university students do not like to work in groups and those that do like working ingroup work actually came from the same high school and they already knew each other well2.As a result, this makes or leaves the rest of us that are new to Australia by ourselves to become scared with the realisation that we are not going to find a partner to work with whom we know each other since childhood or even attended similar schools. But luckily as I was late to find a group there were two other people did not have a group as well so I met Ibrahimand Johanna3. Initially, it is a common fact that working in a group of people who are not well acquainted with each other makes us to experience various stages that are experienced in group formation4. At first, we experienced some sort of conflicts since each of the group members had different likes and dislikes. However, as time progressed, we came to know each other well and thus were able to comfortably work on the assignments with great easy5. It is important to note that fact that despite the fact that the three of us each had different ways of working, it was quite beneficial that our way of thinking, reasoning, and articulation 1Stocker, T. ed., 2014.

Self assignment 3of issues was quite similar and therefore this was indeed a significant aspect that highly contributed in the success of working on our assignments6. It is prudent to note that even though the we were late to select a team because of lack of the correct combination, and that got me worried a lot, and I bet the rest of the group members were too but the day we met took all the worries out of my mind because we seamlessly worked together and allocated what each of us was going to do and so on7.In order to ensure the success of our assignment, it was quite vital to ensure that we allocated our assignments into different manageable tasks and divided responsibilities amongst ourselves. We started with the group contract which we did almost immediately, andin the contract, we split the work amongst each member which I was allocated to do the policies and social effect8. Even though we have assigned topics for each member the great thing is that we were all working on it together, for example, Ibrahim was tasked with the fullresponsibility of ensuring that he found an issue that is not relevant to what he is doing, and instead of forgetting about it he would pass it on to us to see if we also found it to be viable for our group9. I believe that the cohesion we have will not only help us to be open with our thoughts and ideas but it will also quite ultimately help in making the general assignment for our group to be quite manageable and simple.6Beebe, S.A. and Masterson, J.T., 2014.
