Three students—Tina (Math major), Anthony (STEM and SSHA courses), and Francisco (SSHA courses)—shared their experiences with group work, reflecting on its benefits, challenges, and conditions for success. Students view group work as a valuable tool for deep learning, gaining new perspectives, and developing collaborative skills. However, its effectiveness depends on fairness, accountability, and structured support from instructors. When these elements are present, group work becomes both a means of mastering content and a practice ground for professional collaboration.
