Importance of Team Work
Introduction
Doing teamwork is never easy. Different people of various backgrounds come together, frictions are inevitable and conflicts are bound to happen. In the upcoming surveying studio sessions, we are going to work as a team, either to hold a discussion or to do a group work.

To make meetings more effective, serious side-tracking should be avoided. As mentioned, taking a short break in the discussion period can help members
