Jin’s original post.

I agree with your points on that by communicating with different people we could get better learning outcomes. And apart from what you mentioned, I also think that what we already know could determine how much we could learn from a topic, but by communicating in a group work, we get to not only learn from the materials but from team members. This learning process could potentially bring us more than learning individually.

You mentioned that your learning theoretical knowledge only allows you to use them in tests and homework and that group work makes you learn from other’s experience by applying the theoretical knowledge you learned. I am curious whether you would have an example to show what you mean by this?
