The main thing was to finish putting it together. Still really enjoyed that class. We were in competition against another group who can make the best one. We ended up going against them last of course. Let's just say ours could fly across the 3 tennis courts while theirs only made it about halfway through 2. It was so good in fact the teacher asked us if he could keep it xD

    That's why I said "except for" that one. It doesn't always happen, but it makes it better on everyone in the team. xD

    I mean I'd agree group projects are great if they always worked out. More often then not they didn't for me.

    Hey it can be tough working with others in group projects. Especially if they don't always seem very cooperative with you or your thoughts. All depends on who you work with. Now days most people are more mature enough being in college they know to work with each other and help come to decisions everyone on the team would like. It doesn't always work out the right way, but if you feel excluded be sure to tell them! Ask them how you can help more or what else can be done to push it even further! =D

    That's far from the problem. In most of my groups, no one wanted to do anything.

    Well steps need to be done to take it. You need to let them know they have to start pulling some weight. It's not a solo project. They have to pitch in. if it's bad enough you can take it to the professors and let them handle it. So that only those that worked get credit.

    You usually find yourself having to go to the professor. But yeah, the whole holding someone accountable for their stuff gets to be such a pain in the buttocks.
