(a)What is Teamwork?
Teamwork is deIined in Webster's New World Dictionary as "a joint action by a group
oI people, in which each person subordinates his or her individual interests and
opinions to the unity and eIIiciency oI the group." This does not mean that the
individual is no longer important; however, it does mean that eIIective and eIIicient
teamwork goes beyond individual accomplishments. The most eIIective teamwork is
produced when all the individuals involved harmonize their contributions and work
towards a common goal.


(b)What is the Difference Between a Group Ex?ercise and a Team Exercise?
One oI the Iirst things that an instructor must recognize is the diIIerence between an
individual working as part oI a group and an individual working as part oI a team.
Below is a list oI the diIIerences that exist between these categories. AIter reading
through the list, it should be clear what the diIIerence is and which one would be ideal
in a classroom and the workplace.
Groups Teams
O embers work independently and
they oIten are not working towards
the same goal.
O embers work interdependently and work
towards both personal and team goals, and
they understand these goals are
accomplished best by mutual support.
O embers Iocus mostly on
themselves because they are not
involved in the planning oI their
group's objectives and goals.
O embers Ieel a sense oI ownership towards
their role in the group because they
committed themselves to goals they helped
create.
O embers are given their tasks or
told what their duty/job is, and
suggestions are rarely welcomed.
O embers collaborate together and use their
talent and experience to contribute to the
success oI the team's objectives.
O embers are very cautious about
what they say and are aIraid to ask
questions. They may not Iully

their group.
opinions, varying views, and questions.
O embers do not trust each other's
motives because the do not Iully
understand the role each member
plays in their group.
O embers make a conscious eIIort to be
honest, respectIul, and listen to every
person's point oI view.
O embers may have a lot to
contribute but are held back because
oI a closed relationship with each
member.
O embers are encouraged to oIIer their
skills and knowledge, and in turn each
member is able contribute to the group's
success.
O embers are bothered by diIIering
opinions or disagreements because
they consider it a threat. There is not
group support to help resolve
problems.
O embers see conIlict as a part oI human
nature and they react to it by treating it as
an opportunity to hear about new ideas and
opinions. Everybody wants to resolve
problems constructively.
O embers may or may not participate
in group decision-making, and
conIormity is valued more than
positive results.
O embers participate equally in decision-
making, but each member understands that
the leader might need to make the Iinal
decision iI the team can not come to a
consensus agreement.




(c)Characteristics of Effective Teams.The Iollowing are eight characteristics oI
eIIective teams the were identiIied by Larson and LaFasto in their book
titled Teamwork. What Must Go Right/What Can Go Wrong(Sage Publications 1989).
1. The team must have a clear goal. Avoid Iuzzy, motherhood statements. Team
goals should call Ior a speciIic perIormance objective, expressed so concisely
that everyone knows when the objective has been met.
2. The team must have a results-driven structure. The team should be allowed
to operate in a manner that produces results. It is oIten best to allow the team to
develop the structure.


. The team must have competent team members. In the education setting this
can be take to mean that the problem given to the team should be one that the
members can tackle given their level oI knowledge.
4. The team must have unified commitment. This doesn't mean that team
members must agree on everything. It means that all individuals must be
directing their eIIorts towards the goal. II an individual's eIIorts is going purely
towards personal goals, then the team will conIront this and resolve the
problem.
5. The team must have a collaborative climate. It is a climate oI trust produced
by honest, open, consistent and respectIul behavior. With this climate teams
perIorm well...without it, they Iail.
6. The team must have high standards that are understood by all. Team
members must know what is expected oI them individually and collectively.
Vague statements such as "positive attitude" and "demonstrated eIIort" are not
good enough.
7. The team must receive external support and
encouragement. Encouragement and praise works just as well in motivating
teams as it does with individuals.
8. The team must have principled leadership. Teams usually need someone to
lead the eIIort. Team members must know that the team leader has the position
because they have good leadership skills and are working Ior the good oI the
team. The team members will be less supportive iI they Ieel that the team
leader is putting him/herselI above the team, achieving personal recognition or
otherwise beneIiting Irom the position.

(|||)(a) kev|ew of structure ana|ys|s book

Structural Analysis teaches students the basic principles of structural analysis using the
classical approach. The chapters are presented in a logical order, moving from an
introduction of the topic to an analysis of statically determinate beams, trusses and rigid
frames, to the analysis of statistically indeterminate structures. The text includes solved
problems to help illustrate the fundamental concepts. Access to interactive software for
analyzing plane framed structures is available for download via the texts online
companion site. See the Features tab for more info on this software.

(iv) Short-term And Long-term Go,Is
ot only should you set useful goals, you should also set both short-term and long-term
goals.
O Short-term go,Is are ones that you will achieve in the near future (e.g., in a day,
within a week, or possibly within a few months).
O Long-term go,Is are ones that you will achieve over a longer period of time
(e.g., one semester, one year, five years, or twenty years).





Long-term goals often are our most meaningful and important goals. One problem,
however, is that the achievement of these goals is usually far in the future. As a result,
we often have trouble staying focused and maintaining a positive attitude toward
reaching these goals. This is why it is helpful to set up what we call enabling goals.
O An en,-Iing go,I is a special type of shorter-term goal. t is written to help us
achieve a long-term goal. Enabling goals are like stepping stones that help us
measure our progress toward reaching longer-term goals.
For ex,mpIe:
f one of your long-term goals is to get an electrical engineering degree in
five years, you can set up enabling goals for each semester or quarter of
college that supports this long-term goal. These goals could include
attending classes, participating in professional development and internship
opportunities at your school, maintaining a certain grade point average,
and staying up-to-date in your readings and assignments
