Choosing to work as an Individual or in a Group
Working in a group can be a fun, rewarding, and easier way to do the NHD project because you can share the work load and bounce ideas off each other. If you are involved in a lot of extra-curriculars though, it can be challenging to get together for work days with your group. Think about your strengths and weaknesses in skills, as well as your time constraints, when choosing to work in a group.
