I've had three group projects where everything turned out great. Had good people, good communication and the person who took the lead on said projects did a good job.
When a group project goes well its a tremendously rewarding experience.
The only assessment at Uni that I ever failed was a group assessment, for obvious reasons.
Group projects taught me you shouldn't strive to be the best in school.
I was pretty good in most classes so they always grouped up all the lazy idiots "who needed some assistance" with me and I always ended up doing the group projects by myself. By high school I tried to be the least active in class because of goddamn group projects.
[QUOTE=CommanderPT;52322881]Yeah sure. Let's call it that. It is more that some people refuse to accept other people's solutions because they think their way is objectively better and in the end they fuck things up. Last group project one guy rewrote his own code several times because he kept fucking it up. But hey, I'm the one writing bad code. :v:[/QUOTE]
This shit is the worst.
I think everyone who has taken a software engineering course has that one peer who's an arrogant dick.
Thankfully that attitude doesn't fly in the real world either.
All of my Universities studies were centered around group projects, they were always the main focus of each semester and working on all of them was a really great time, I was almost sad when I graduated. Sounds like you guys all have shitty luck.
I remember in high school I usually was stuck doing most of the work for group projects. One particularly lousy project in science was pretty much [i]just me[/i] working on it with no one else doing anything worthwhile.
College was a bit better. Everyone actually helped out and voiced their own thoughts on any particular problem that we were having. There was actual communication between each of us. Went pretty smoothly and we got really good grades.
Had a semester-wide project each semester on my Bsc. which were in groups of min. 4 people and I had pretty much success with everyone.
It is a lot about roles and understanding how to tackle problems together and knowing how your members work and what they CAN do.
