Journal #15 Challenges of Partner Work
I hate group projects. I do not like relying on other people to get work done. I currently have a 37.5% in psychology because of stupid group projects. I did my part of the assigned worksheet and I emailed it to one of the other group members to finish and turn in, but STI tells me that I have a "M" in the gradebook. This goes to show that you cannot ever rely on other people to do an equal share of the work. I think that it is really difficult to work with people from other schools on this project because they are not even in the same building, so you can't even hunt people down and hound them about doing their fair share of the work. Last year in internet class we did the flatclasroom project online and it was a huge pain in the butt! Sometimes the internet would not work and sometimes the people from the other schools were not able to upload something. All in all i think that group projects that involve people from other areas are generally not a good idea. Good students get paired up with students that struggle, so the good student is always the one who has to put in like three times as much effort as the other group members. I think that the only reason that I do not like group projects in school is because I am a good student who normally ends up doing most of the work so that me grades do not suffer. There are always those students who wait until the last minute to turn things in and I think that can really hurt you in a group project with deadlines. I am going to try to go into this project open minded. I think that this project is going to be much easier than the internet project because we have actually learned about the topic at hand and we are not just making shots in the dark on the validity of our information. I am excited to start the new project today! (:
