Like 20 minute lecture using power point and everyone in the group needs to talk, then you have to do a discussion post. Imagine trying to coordinate that weekly with people taking the course in all different timezones. It's an online course. No ty. In most of my college classes with group projects, you'd basically do that maybe ONCE an entire semester. I can't even imagine doing one a week unless it was a really high-level class and you were getting deep into the woods on some complex concepts that required cooperation. The closest I think I ever got to that was a biology class that had a lab once a week, where you'd partner off and work on stuff together (usually dissections), but that was research, not presentation. zebatov posted... I think its pronounced syllables. Silly bulls? argonautweakend posted... Ive never felt like group projects actually help with working with people in the real world. Not just because they are whack with not everybody putting in equal work, some people just naturally can't work well with others and a shitty group project isn't going to change that. Most of the group projects I was part of always turned into multiple semi-related solo projects because none of the people involved actually communicated with each other, and then one person would usually wind up doing 90% of the work while everyone else got equal credit. (I was almost always the one doing the majority of the work in any group I was part of. Mostly because I always had the mindset of "If I do this I know it will be done right, but I have no faith that any of the rest of you won't fuck this up and I'll wind up with a lower grade because you suck, so I'll just have to work harder and you can coast so I can get what I consider to be an acceptable grade.") It would probably be different if you were friends with the people in your group, but most of my classes were larger and everyone was mostly a stranger, so there was never that degree of familiarity/ease of interaction (even in the one class where we had group projects and my roommate was there, we got put into separate groups so we couldn't work together, which is kind of stupid). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:943694980] in I was just...
