Group Work

I'm not sure if its just me but I don't like bring group projects in college.  I feel like everyone has such different schedules, opinions on assignments, and ways of writing that its difficult to achieve a good grade.  Back in high school and at my job now, I enjoyed doing group projects since everyone could get together and things can be accomplished alot quicker, but in college the atmosphere is entirely different and group projects have become a chore more than anything else.  I understand my professors thinking behind assigning group proects but its so hard for everyone to get thier schedules to mesh and since some people dont care about thier grade, others are left to pick up the slack.  After graduation I understand I'll be working in a group environment alot of the time and have group leaders but those people all are getting paid to do a good job and usually are working the same hours so the process is completely different.  Right now my group project for PR writing is going relatively smoothly but its difficult to tell what our grades will be when we are finished.  For now we are going to continue to divide the work up evenly and use eachother as a checks and balances system to catch errors.
