The things that I like and hate about doing group work.

In high school a number of different things led me to hate working with others. I thought that studying mechanical engineering on laboratory report in university would mean never having to collaborate for meaningless group assignments again. But I was wrong. In fact, I seem to be doing more group projects than individual projects lately. Group work only seems to get worse in university, and I can safely say that the biggest source of my school stress has come from working with my peers.  I tried contacting my group a month in advance so we could coordinate what slides we wanted to do and how we wanted to present. Only one person answered. The other two ended up emailing me with just a week to spare. When I figured out what everyone wanted to present on, I made the calculation, did my part and waited. When I checked our project the night before, I noticed only one other person had started on. The other two, again, had nothing. The pros about doing group work are, i know how to handle the situation like this and how to manage pressure in group. Beside, the work become more easier and more simple because we can divide the project work each other.
