Group projects, what a mess.

These types of assignments are the worst that you can get for a big project in school because you always find yourself coming across the issue of scheduling conflict. If you can all meet together it may only happen for one time, and that may not be enough time to be able to get anything done whether it's a simple research project or something artistic. It's also a chore trying to find one person who will able to get the whole group on task in order to do the project in a timely manner. If you can't get together you'll find yourselves scrambling to dived the work evenly amongst every person in the group. Once you do this it's also hard to collaborate and incorporate everything into the same overall presentation. It's especially hard to be able to do these types of projects when you are in college and you commute from an hour away while also having work on many weekdays and a full schedule while you're at school. Basically put it is near impossible for group projects to go smoothly and it's just a real pain and hassle when teachers assign them.

You know what else sucks about group projects? When you have lazy jerks that don't do any work and leave you to do the whole project by yourself.
