When group projects are graded it shouldn't be on the group as a a whole... which makes group projects useless....It's stupid.

Four or so group projects that involve filming a piece plus an in-person presentation on which the entire group is graded as a whole.I might just kill myself after Christmas, just to be safe.
Yeahhhhh, I feel you.They're supposed to promote teamwork and build friendships and all that other bullshit, but what professors don't seem to realize is that you can't force two or three or four people to work together--which is why people should be given the choice to work alone if they so choose.
Oh god damn.Actually if you have decent people presenting with you I find they make it easier. But for work outside of that. Yea... screw that.

Yea... screw that.One of my friends had the class this semester; in the last project, one group member (assigned, not chosen, by the way) didn't pay attention to the script and ended up stealing two other members' parts.Guess who didn't get a good grade on the presentation?

People don't even leave comments, because no one gives a fuck. Useless.
I had to be a part of a group paper. Sounds weird but it actually went really well.

Sounds weird but it actually went really well.Group things are cool if they are graded individually and everyone does their part. I just think that it's too likely that, if you're assigned to a group with five other people, at least one person is going to try to literally do nothing but put their name on it.
