I think the teachers were hoping that I would be a good influence. In practice, however, I always ended up doing virtually all of the work since I didn't want a bad group grade to jeopardize my "A" in the class. <BR/><BR/>I always felt that group projects should be individually graded to avoid this type of "leeching" problem.Crimson Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03254830856234479999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-8336382834223615402007-11-14T19:32:00.000-05:002007-11-14T19:32:00.000-05:00You're a cool teacher!
