<\/p>\nas if normal school projects weren\u2019t stressful enough, group projects bring another whole set of conflicts and challenges. it\u2019s hard to work with random classmates who probably have a variety of different work ethics \u2013 some contributing more than others\u2026 but follow the tips below and the somewhat painful process should get a little easier!

tempting\u2026 but you have to realize that the due date is going to come around at some point. and it\u2019s not like when you procrastinate on a project you\u2019re doing alone. it\u2019s going to be a lot harder to cram all the work into one night if you\u2019re trying to call one of your group mates and they don\u2019t respond for hours. unfortunately, you can\u2019t depend on people. and just think how nice it will be when you\u2019re finished early. you can just sit back and relax. <\/p>\n

lol, more like focus on other homework.<\/p>\n
it will put your mind at ease if you know exactly what you have to get done. if everyone does their part, you\u2019ll be finished before you know it!<\/p>\n
plus, you wouldn\u2019t what the same task to be done twice because of lack of communication. don\u2019t do an unnecessary amount of work.<\/p>\n
assigning jobs will help to get rid of the classic problem of one person doing more or less work than all the others. this way, you can divide the work in the fairest way possible.

maybe not that honest\u2026 but don\u2019t sit there silently if you really object to the direction the project is going in!<\/p>\n
instead, start with a compliment, then, give constructive criticism. mention the aspects of their idea that you like, but explain a few ways that you believe it could be made better.<\/p>\n
like earlier, lack of communication can lead to later conflict when you burst into a rage in two weeks because you think your group totally messed up the whole assignment.
\n <\/p>\n
we are more connected than ever nowadays. there are so many ways you can communicate with your group. you could have a group text, a facebook message, a skype session\u2026 the possibilities are endless. take advantage of those things!<\/p>\n
but i find it\u2019s also very important to schedule in-person work time. sometimes certain ideas can be hard to communicate through a screen. and sometimes it\u2019s easier to understand what someone is trying to convey when you see them face-to-face.<\/p>\n
