Teamwork: Awesome or Awful?

My class has been talking about teamwork lately. I also have been getting projects where we are allowed to work in groups but I always work alone. To me teamwork is good if everyone is working and they deserve the grade that you get in the end. I hate it when we are required to work in groups because some peoples` work just doesn`t deserve the same credit than others! I also hate when we we have to work in groups and i am stuck doing all the work because everyone else in ``busy`` goofing off. But working in groups is not always bad sometimes the out come could be good.

The good things about group work is that when you talk to other people about ideas on the same topic you get more ideas. Then later you can use those ideas on your own paper! Its sort of like ``cheating`` but in a good way. Teamwork is also good when you know absolutely nothing about the project. You can let the other people in your group do all the work (I am going against what I said in the introduction). Team work is also good when you are working with RESPONSIBLE (not Good) friends because they tend to cooperate with you and collaborate your ideas with theirs. If you are working with GOOD friends they will tend to goof off because they would expect you to do all the work. So take a word of advice from me, if you ever want to work in a group pick RESPONSIBLE friends to work with.

The bad things about group work is that sometimes you don`t get along with your group and that ends up messing EVERYTHING! Sometime there are people who want to be in groups but want to do everything by themselves and don`t want any of their group members` ideas. I hate those kinds of people because they just get on my nerves and I am the kind of person who like projects (because you get to show off you imagination).

So in conclusion, be very careful who you choose to work with when you are assigned a group project. Don`t work with snooty people or people who want to do everything by themselves. Don`t choose ``good`` friends not even if they saved you from getting hit by a boat while swimming. In other words, beware you never know what kind of people are out there!
