Believe me, I understand the value in working in groups in school. You really learn how to work alongside others and how to handle all the added complexity and planning, and you might even make friends. I know there's much more to it than that, too. But regardless, I have sincerely disdained every group project I have yet to work on and wish to avoid doing it ever again.
Our project looks at the use of entropy in feature selection. Each of the group members has been flaky at one point or another. However, with our final paper due on Tuesday, one of our group members has not communicated since we last talked on Thursday in class, and also failed to do almost any of her work for the presentation the week before.
This means I'm going to lose the rest of my time until Tuesday to compensating for that. I have another class which has a project due in mid-December which I haven't started, and for which I have yet to submit my project proposal(!) despite it being almost three weeks late! This is ridiculous! And I just don't have the time to fix it. Back to toiling away in the misery that is group work.
