I haven't lived there for almost 8 months.
It's like me and my shoes. I wore trainers in a wedding just twice in my life when very good friends of mine got married (and I posted only one picture).
Judging by the reactions here, you could swear I do it all the time.

Sure, Marcus, suuuuuuure.
I bet you're wearing sneakers to a wedding right now, aren't you? :mad:

Yeah, most group study type of things that are constructed near the beginning of the semester usually seem to degenerate into a flurry of chain emails near the time of the final full of people panicking because they don't know .
The teacher emailed us the final questions, so some people emailed together and decided we would split them up to make one study guide. I'm looking over it and it's just such . Some of the answers are missing large amounts of information; others are just plain wrong. I assumed that a 3000 level course would have people in it who actually knew what the was going on, but apparently I was wrong.

There are a lot of people in college who probably shouldn't be there.

yep, this is the source of the problem, and why i always avoided all group-work, and group-based assignments. its better to do twice the work than to get stuck with a bunch of idiots who just went to uni because they could, or because its just the 'normal' thing to do these days...
its nice that money isnt as much of a barrier to getting to go to university these days, but it sucks wang that so many people go without any reason for being there.

I was lucky in that my school is generally pretty tough to get into, and once you're there, if you're not up to snuff you will be weeded out in the first two years. It's a lot rarer to get someone that's a complete slackjob, especially when you get further into your degree.
Group work was really important for a lot of us though. Working with others on projects and studying in groups helped you learn a lot of information that you may have missed, or not learned in the first place. Of course this only worked when your group was productive and actually intelligent. I never really had an issue in any groups I was in, but I know of people with horror stories.

I think its the forced thing that makes it hard. Like, teamwork is something that is useful to learn for the workplace (which is the 'reason' they give group work), but in what workplace are you grouped with a bunch of idiots who weren't interviewed and would never be hired... ever :stongue:
I've only stopped having (complete) idiots in my class this year, as I'm doing honours.
