In Class: Group Project

This one time in high school I had to do a health project. I was in a group with people he didn't like to do pretty much anything. So I ended up doing everything, which sucked. But it was only highschool so it was like a powerpoint that took me an hour, but still I was pissed. Other then that most of my group projects have been pretty good. As long as people do what they are supposed to and turn in things on time its all good. A group needs a strong group leader to organize stuff and make sure things get done, so I guess that would be my biggest concern. Also, make sure that the work is distributed evenly.
An ideal group work situation would be a group that has everyone doing their part exactly the way they are supposed too. Getting things turned in on time, practicing their presentation part, helping others out that need it. All of these things would make a good group. Also a group that communicates well with eachother is ideal. You don't want people just sitting there not saying anything, because that gets you no where. Having fun in the group definitly makes it more enjoyable, but making sure the work gets done first.
The different roles of this group will include a team leader. The leader will be someone who organizes the group and sets others roles for the group members. They will also help make sure the project is getting accomplished in a timely manner. Another role would be researchers. These will be the people researching the subject and finding material to be used on the presentation. Another role might be a powerpoint creator, or some type of presentation. Of course everyone will help contribute to the presentation, but there might be like a technology type of role person. Leader, technology person, researchers are all the roles in a group.
