Last year in my Business Information Systems class, I was placed in a group with members who did not have the same work ethic as I did, which ended up in me doing most of the work for the overall project. Due to the high volume of the work, I was overwhelmed and ended up getting a mid-B on the project despite giving all the effort I possibly had.
An ideal group project for me starts off with being in a group with a similar work ethic that I possess. I want to be with members who do not settle for mediocrity and only want to submit their best work possible. I think it is also important to be with members who pay strict attention to detail and are engaged in the task at hand. Additionally, it is important to me for everyone in the group to participate and be held accountable for their work. It is not fair when the group as a whole receives the same grade when there are others who clearly worked harder than the other members. It always bothers me when members of the group are unprepared for class and meetings (or show up late), so preparation and punctuality are critical for a successful project.
