"Alright so Jane you will be working with Billy, Doug, Jamie and Emily." All of a sudden you turn cold as you realize your teacher has just put you with the worst group of students to work on a group project with.
Group partners can consist of many types of annoying people. We have that person who just refuses to do any work. You will assign them a task and they straight up will not do it. What makes this person worse though, is if they smile, nod, and promise that they will do their portion of the project. However, on the day of the presentation they come up empty handed, leaving you and group group lost.
On the opposite spectrum, you have the worker who completely takes over everyone's job and micromanages the whole thing. Now, what makes this person worse is when they don't even do a good job. If you have ever been in a group project where only one person does the work then you get the grade back and its a mere B-. (-_-).
If you are forced into a group that you do not like, it is important to take the reigns at the beginning and delegate tasks for each person. If that person does not carry out the tasks that they agree on, it should be known to the teacher or authority figure.
When being put in a bad group, just try to stay positive about the situation and handle things before they get messy or procrastinated too much.
