The biggest problem I'm looking at right now is the group work. Where as I work well in groups, I still have issues relying on people to pull their own weight. I've always been a good team player and give my two cents on everything. When you have to worry about one or a few people messing up something for the whole group it gets pretty nerve racking. The saying, "Two heads are better than one." can be argued pretty easily. Everyone has an opinion and a different viewpoint from you. This is where group work gets hard for me.

When different opinions are introduced it can lead to arguing which never gets anything done. That's why everyone in a group has to come to a mutual agreement to get any work done. If someone won't budge though it can lead to nothing getting done. That's why I don't like group work all that much and try to avoid it, but if I am forced with it I can compensate. I'm easy going so that makes it easier with group work. I like to listen to what everyone has to say and choose the best solution that pleases everyone.

Hopefully my group will see eye to eye and work well on this group project.

I think one of the biggest challenges I'm going to face in the class is WikiQuotes. I've never really even noticed it was there. I tend to pick up quickly on new things though so hopefully it'll work out. I'm still waiting on my books to come in from Amazon so let's hope that happens soon. I'm looking forward to learning more about it through the course. I know that I'll be able to.

I have the most problems with keeping it simple. I tend to over explain things or give more information on something that doesn't need much explanation. This typically leads to me writing more than I'm supposed to. Over complicating things must be in my blood or something. I feel that giving more information on a certain subject is good, but not in every situation.
