Why Group Projects Suck!

So it seems that Roosevelt University is a bit obsessed with group projects. One project that I have to do is in my research methods class. Now, I will say that I am really good friends with two of the four people in this group, and it's awesome. But it can be hard if you have some critiques that need to be addressed. So here is a list of reasons why group projects suck:
  • Trying to get five people together to meet at one time is IMPOSSIBLE! We have not had a single meeting with all five members at once unless we were already in class.
  • People take critiques personally rather than look at the benefits to the paper.
  • When four different people try to work on the same paper, it can get kind of hectic.
  • Some people don't do any work at all and let the other four do all of the work and still get the same grade as the others.
  • Some people do a lot less work than, lets say three of the five, and still get the same grade.
  • Emailing papers in the late hours of the night and early hours of the morning can get crazy because you forget to actually attach the paper and have to send another email with the attachment with a stupid little note that says you aren't paying attention to what you are doing.
  • I know there are a million other reasons that I just can't think of right now!
So, yeah. In short, they suck.

Until next time,

  3. Dude, I remember those days in college. NO BODY has time to meet together, everybody is either catching classes, doing the abundance of homework, socializing. Professors just don't think group projects through. lol
