Group Projects

[dfrecore]

Yes, this is my problem too. I always take on group lead for the same reason. I set deadlines and they are not met. I usually end up having to wait until the VERY last minute to submit the project since no one follows the deadlines. I have to send group emails and copy the instructor on every one of the so they can see the lack of participation. It is very inconvenient.

I have been in the workforce since I was 18. I work well with others. All different skill level, experience and background. I am currently a department manager. I get that the course work is supposed to resemble "real world" experiences". Blah blah blah, I will never like group projects in an academic setting. ever :willynilly:

I agree!! I too have not had much problem working with lots of different kinds of people EXCEPT the ones that don't do their work, or complain a lot, or wait until the last minute to do stuff...you know, the exact same people who would be difficult to do a group project with!!!! banghead

When looking at the MBA options, I think the lack of group projects will be in my criteria as well!
