Group Work

I believe if I had to put grad school into two words it would be, group work. out, is group work. Never before have I had so many group assignments, group projects, group presentations, group discussion... don't get me wrong, I value group work and believe you get information and understanding not available through sitting alone at home with your computer, reading your paper out loud over and over again. In fact most of my teaching will involve group work! It involves tremendous patience and thoughtful organization. It can even make everything that much easier when done just right. It's just that sometimes, I'd rather choreography a solo, you feel me? I'd rather have the knowledge that deep down, if I don't get my act together until the night before the assignment is due, the only person I have to blame is me, myself, and I.
