Are you good at working in groups?

Post Reply New Topic

I either do absolutely all the work or just sit back quietly. I do hate it when I get paired with that one person who has no idea what the goal of the project is but still feels required to control every aspect of the project.

I hate group projects. They always lead to a bad outcome - either bad feelings or a bad grade. I had to drop a class almost at the end of the semester after I had done so much work, because the animosity of my group project members was disturbing me.

i hate groups but anything over 7 is horrible.

Oh, I really don't like group work, unless I know that my group members are responsible and will do the work.
For example, when we had to do a group project in AP Psychology, I was fine because my group members were pretty smart and knew what they were doing. Even then, though, I gave myself the bulk of the work to do because I wanted a quality product to be handed in.
Often, I won't trust my fellow group members to follow deadlines, etc., especially if I know they're bad with that sort of thing, so I end up doing most of the work. That's fine with me, though, because I'd rather have a good product done by me (even if the group members got credit for my work) then a crappy product with parts done by every member of the group.
The only exception to this is when the product involves drawing or hand-writing something- then I let someone with better artistic skills/handwriting do it, because I am deficient in both of those areas.

I'm ok...

I hate any group over 10, as I think that's just too much and the purpose of whatever activity you are doing together will be taken away and you'll all get distracted.

So I'm ok at working in small groups, you can communicate much better then.

I don't work well in a group. But most work at my school is done as groupwork. Usualy I do the work with a good friend from class. But it is not always possible.

Group examination has just been abolish I am very happy about this.

I am, provided that everyone is equally cooperative.

I like to work alone in school when we have to do projects, because the people around me don't pay attention and i end up doing the work anyways but they all get good grades from it. I don't want to help those lazy slackers let 'em fail, they deserve it.

I can work in groups it depends on the people and that I generally like a little bit of freedom along with direction. That said I have to be interested in the project because if I'm not then I stop caring about it

Depends on who I'm working with. If the members have work and group ethic, I am agree able and I can help others stay on task. If they are lazy and tend to goof off, I get into arguments with them trying to get them to do their fair share. I seem to do better work and get along better with the rest of the group if I am not the leader or there is no leader present.

My main problem is always finding a partner for assignments. All the other students I know end up with some one else before I get a chance to ask the and I usually end up with another person who can't find or is to lazy to find a partner.

... As long as I am the only member.

Not really...unless I have ALL good members in the group (Who actually work)
If they don't, I'm stuck doing all the work or I can't handle all the meaningless chatter and storm out

Nope. I'm never on the same page as everyone.

Either I end up doing the majority of the work because everyone else is too busy socializing... or someone else completely dominates leaving me little input, which can be equally annoying.

Only if I am leading the group and people don't question me.
