For anyone hitting the books and working hard on those grades, there's one date on the school calendar that always brings with it a sense of dread. Group projects. The one and only time your hard work depends on another (less conscientious) student. Sure, your professors will tell you about working as a team, building creative partnerships, learning effective communication skills and nurturing different perspectives-but you know in your heart of hearts that you're going to get stuck with the one student who doesn't care if they get an A or whether they get asked to leave the class.
