In Class: Group Work

The perfect situation for a group work/project would first off be me picking my own group. I feel like I put trust in others, and know characteristics of others, and like having at least some control over who I work with. Next, I would want all of my group members to have leadership qualities. Things go a whole lot smoother when everyone is ready and willing to take part in completing an assignment. And not only completing it, but having the mentality that they wish to make an "A". Nothing drives me more crazy than being in a group and having people expect you to be the one to finish everything just because you seem like the 'smartest' one. Also, although we get class time to work on most of this assignment. It would be nice if people would at least be willing to potentially meet outside of class if we needed an extra hour or two to make something perfect. It's always worth it to me to put in extra time in order to make the better grade, but for a lot of people, that isn't the case at all. I'm just hoping I get a hardworking group, because that's the way I would work best too. Minimal frustration.

  1. Leadership qualities are great because in many cases you don't need to tell them basic things that they should know. I think you have to be careful though if you have alot of leaders but not one selected leader as it could lead to disputes that can't be resolved.
