“I prefer to work individually. For me, it’s easier to work around my own schedule instead of having to meet at a time that’s convenient for everybody. It’s easier if I’m free for 30 minutes and I can work and not worry about only being able to work on it later.”

“Individually because, quite honestly, it gives you more of a chance to focus on the task at hand. In groups, there might be a bit of interaction on the same concept but there might not be any action to get anything done.”
