If the work we did as group had to be face to face rather than interacting over the internet I believe that each individual would be more productive and that each individual would be doing less work than they would if they were working over the internet. By working in person each individual can talk and relay their information better, which can set up clearer guidelines and jobs for each member. Being able to meet in person makes communication easier and more clear, and allows members to ask question and receive a more timely response. Also, there is a better chance that each team member will not be working on the same task, which will reduce the time it takes to complete a project and how much work each member needs to complete. We would come up with a solution by first addressing the issue that needs to be solved, then researching other methods used to address that same issue, followed by brainstorming what method we would like to use and what changes we will make to our solution, after that would be setting up a timeline to test our proposed solution, gather our data to come up with a solution, and then analyzing the results to see that we solved the problem effectively and to the best of our ability. If this was an actual job I do think we would run into some of the same problems that we would have if we interacted over the internet. An issue would still be time management and making sure tasks are divided evenly so that everyone will take about the same amount of time to complete their task. However, face to face interacting would make work a lot easier to maintain.
