Buy everyone a round of burritos..everything is better with burritos

Well you're probably going to have to be able to work as part of a team in the "real world" as well, so you might as well get used to it.

That appears to be the reason why group work forms a big part of assessments at university (for my course at least).

I am afraid that you are going to have to get used to it - in the real world some people sponge off others and don't pull their weight, just as you are experiencing now.

I have found that to get decent marks in group assignments i usually have to do the majority of the work myself. Most of the groups i have been involved with contained international students with average english skills, and they really couldn't do very much.

At the moment three out of my four subjects at university involve groupwork and group assignments!

If that solved the issue I wouldn't hesitate. Not all people like burritos.

I'm used to it. It's just that this time I got a lazy good-for-nothing group member that is not doing his part. That is all. Group activies are good/beneficial/etc., but not all the time.

Actually they're better. If they don't write any code at least you don't have to try to debug it when it goes horribly wrong.
