Remember group projects back in high school? I was never a big fan. It seemed that there was always a member of the group who didn't complete his or her work on time - or perhaps, at all. And it also seemed that one member (usually me) ended up doing the majority of the work. So, when the words, "We're going to work in groups on this project," came from my teacher's mouth, I'd be filled with dread. But that's just me. For other people, working with others is a boon. They are relieved not to have to "go it alone," and they do their best work when they are focused on a single aspect of a project. (And besides, we're not in high school anymore.)
