Intro
You will often confront teamwork both in your studies and in work life. That is why, it is essential that you focus on learning team skills already at the beginning of your studies. In a well-functioning team 1+1 will become more than two and diversity is perceived as strength. When mastering team skills, you will be able to both be a productive member of a team and you personally get more from your team members as well as with them. In general, we learn from interaction with others. In this course, among other objectives, you will learn how to set objectives for a project, how to write a project plan and how to develop teamwork. You will learn more about yourself and about others since you will analyse both your actions and your roles in your team. To sum up, you will generally find this course useful throughout your life.
