But I Hate Group Work!

Most students hate group work. Almost everyone dreads it, yet teachers continue to assign it. Write an informal blog in which you explore your feelings about group work. Think about why you like or dislike it. Reflect upon a collaborative writing task that you have completed int he past. Why do you think that particular rhetorical situation called for collaborative writing? How did your group work together? How did you organize and divide the work? What role or roles did you play within the larger group dynamic? What was the result and how would you have done it differently? Lastly, why do you think some projects call for collaboration and others are better completed alone?

This was formerly Writing Log 3.1. You do not have to blog about this idea; however, we should use this space as a place to air our grievances and anxieties about working in groups.
