I just love it when you're relying on a group member to complete something vital, and the day before everything is due you get their part and realize it's absolutely terrible. JUST FABULOUS.

    Maybe the teacher is illiterate? Unlikely but possible.

    That always happens to me, that's why in small group projects (2-3) I do all the work and in larger ones (4-5) I join a group who likes to work, so I can take a backseat and intervene when needed.

    Never fails.

    Group projects at school/college are absolute failure. 95% of groups suck ass.

    It's only in a focused team group with different skills that you really see the power of a team. And yes, that's the difference between a an effective team and a group.

    Or I could just assume the command (if it's the team) and have them do this and that without question like Nazi-style. If they are dumb af, that's what I do so they work and I don't have to hear their nagging.
