I'm a people person. I love being with people and talking with people. But I can't stand group/partner school projects.
The simple fact is, no two minds are exactly alike, and with a group project, there is no possible way to have every contributing member be 100% satisfied with their final project. On top of that, if grades are supposed to reflect each person's work and skill level, how can a group project fairly judge that? I always feel that group projects are simply awkward and annoying. Maybe it's just because I like things done my way, but I think that everybody has a little bit of that feeling in them.
Do you all find group grades ethical? Fair? Do you find yourself wishing teachers had more or less group projects/papers?
I just thought of a response :D!
ReplyDeleteI like group projects due to the bonding time with fellow students that I never get otherwise, but it is annoying when people don't put in enough effort. I like to work alone but I also enjoy collective brainstorming. Partner projects are also fun if you can choose your partner, especially with Google Docs. Who would have thought that two people in separate houses can work on a paper together at the same time?! It's a mind-blowing concept. All in all, I am fine with how many group projects are assigned currently.
