How Can I Work on a Group Presentation?

Group presentations have become common not only in writing and writing-intensive classes but also in business, nonprofit, and government settings. The extent of collaboration can vary widely: each member of the group might be assigned to work on a different section of the presentation, or the whole group might work together — electronically or in person — to plan, design, draft, polish, revise, and edit the entire presentation. To prepare to work collaboratively on a group presentation, become familiar with the purposes, processes, and potential pitfalls of working with a team. Learning how to work together while you are a student can help you succeed on projects long after you’ve completed your degree.
