Who likes working in groups as opposed to individually? personally I hate groups (more and more by the second), nobody ever does their share, and if they do its usually crap

group projects get waaaayyy out of hand the second we start working. research soon turns into internet gaming. a quick snack quickly turns into a full fledged meal...you know, the works

I'm in the middle of almost a semester-long group project for English...we have to produce a magazine. The class got split up by the teacher into groups so there's the first problem: we didn't get to chose who was in our group. And we have to freelance for other groups in the class, and get other freelancers to write for us, and do our own editorials for the magazine... And yeah, it pretty much blows and it all boils down to the fact that my graduation depends upon this project. It seems easy enough except that already I've done more editing and writing than any of my other group members with the possible exception of one girl who completely disagrees with everything. So basically we're behind schedule and don't have anything productive done. I hate group projects. I always end up doing it all at the last minute.

i hate group work as well. even if you get to work with friends i still dont like doing it. i mean theres always someone who doesnt do their share, and theres always someone who thinks they are always right...etc etc. i prefer working on my own because then there is no one to blame except for me.

...Now I just can't shut you up, shut you up
So now I have to chop you up, chop you up
And I'll just wait till I get caught...

i absolutely hate group work where your groups are assigned. i always get w/ lazy kids who make me do all the work, and it sucks. Then that person automatically gets the good grade that I earned FOR them. UGGGH! now, if you get to choose your group, and the other members would equally do work and be responsible, then i like them alot, because it's less work for you.

At my school, we get little sheets and we get to say who did what percentage of the work. If you did a lot you write that down and if it disagrees with what your group says then he/she talks to you and you get a boosted mark while the slackers get their mark lowered. It rocks, as long as you do your part you're set, even though i think that detracts from the 'group' part of it, but it gets you into University.

yeah, we just made groups (of 2) today in French class, and there's only 6 of us. There are 2 people that we don't like, so it would be easiest if they went together... but noooo they didn't want too. So we drew names, and luckily I'm not with either of them, thank goodness.

i just had to do a group isu... it was the stupidest idea ever to make us do a group seminar... the only good part was that we had to do our own essay, but our seminar blew chunks... I used to like group work back in grade 10 when i didnt do any work, but now that im trying to keep my marks up i dont want other people to be incontrol of my future...
