The perils of group work

OH NO GROUP WORK!!!

Thats the cry that goes up in class when you know it's part of the course, theres the rush to get the perceived "good workers" it's like being selected in PE for teams, nobody want's to get lumbered with the kid who has two left feet and couldn't hit the side of a barn.

But is it all bad? working in a group can be great fun as long as rules are laid down from the start and non group participants are removed from the group early on, Groups need the ability to kick off members who don't contribute or don't turn up. This needs to be understood from the start by all members.

Am I happy working in a group, can I answer that over the next few weeks?
