Writing something by committee is the biggest exercise in futility that I have ever encountered. Once again, the burden of competency strikes and two people of four in this group end up completing a project that involves three weeks of research.  Typical. Blue Falconry at its best. Lokt, Out. |

It's simple: He who cares the most, writes the paper. I got voted out of having to help on a group project this week - we always meet on thursday, one member couldn't make it then, so they moved it up to wednesday. Fine. I can't meet on wednesday. Don't stress too much about it. |
I have experienced the anguish of writing and designing a program with the "assistance" of a large group. I have had more productive sessions by repeatedly slamming my "junk" in a drawer. BTW I also love how small, effective projects somehow get averaged out - and lengthier in schedule - when more and more people see how effective the project is and decide they need to attach their name to it. UGGH. |
what is ESL? |
Foreign students with poor English skills. Some of them have okay english, just strong accents - others obviously bribed someone to take their TOEFL english tests. Either way, it can be a real downer in groups. Btw - in our MBA program, WE choose the groups - and students stay in the same groups for all of their required classes for the first two semesters. |

WTF?? I just learned that the slideshow 2 of my group mates were 'working on' (all afternoon -  )was totally plagiarized from another group in a different section--and we have to PRESENT tomorrow morning. Not even cool. That is the shit that gets you kicked the fuck out of school.  Guess who is gonna be up redoing it tonight?
