In class: The Horrors of Group Work

I havent had to do much group work since i have come to college, but this semester has certainly made up for that. All but one of my classes has a huge group work project due at the end of the semester. I am so sick of group work because i know that at least in one of the projects, i will most definitely be left hanging. In high school everyone wanted to be in my group because i was a very meticulous perfectionist and they knew that if they had done a halfassedjob then i would stay up all night and fix it until it was perfect. This is certainly what will happen to the group that i just mentioned. They actually make me wonder how TCUaccepts students, because there is no way that they should have gotten in. I hope that this group will be better, i know that they are certainly smarter :)
And ideal group situation, especially for this assignment would be one where we all come to the table with different talents. I feel that this project has many different parts and allows for many different "geared" people to contribute. We definitely need people that that are creative, structured, and speak well. Truly, if everyone works hard on it does there part, and are flexible towards one another, we really should be just fine.
With that being siad, this project allows for many differnt roles. I dont know if i fully understand it yet but from waht i do, i can imagine that a few basic roles will be needed. We will ofcourse need a manager of the group. The mananger is the one that emails us all and we send eveything that we have done to him or her with realtion to writing etc. The also needs to be a creative, considering that some of the texts have to be drawn of created visually. There also needs to be a good writer who can write teh purely ttextual text and put that one together well. Finally, there needs to be a charismatic who can truly lead the group when presenting our project to the class. We all also need to help write teh paper, but that alwasy seems liek it is more difficult to split up, so hopefully we can find a way to easily do that and then send it to the manager for editing and puttign togeher ec.
