#GroupProjectProbs

#GroupProjectProbs

Is there anyone out there that actually likes group projects? No? No one? Anyone? Didn’t think so. SO WHY do our professors continually assign us torturous group work? We’ve put together a pros and cons list of group work.

PROS:
-Um…. we’ve got nothing.
CONS:
-You can never find a time to meet that works for everyone because schedules.
-There’s always that one person who lives in Sandy…. like, bruh, hop on the freeway and we’ll see you in 10.
-You’re always the one who ends up with the biggest work load.
-There’s that one kid who doesn’t brush his teeth…
-The kid who doesn’t brush his teeth always seems to sit by you, doesn’t (s)he!?
-There’s always someone who doesn’t have a gmail address and screws up your google doc.
-The work is never split evenly no matter how hard you try.
-There’s always one kid who you disagree with wholeheartedly on every. single. topic.
-And what about the kid who doesn’t even exist until the day the presentation is due?!
-Two words: peer evaluation.
Unfortunately, group work is a part of the circle of life and every professor deems it necessary. So, I guess we’ll have to continue sucking it up as our professors continue dishing it out. Happy group-working, kids.
