yesterday I had class, we are working on a group project and I thought it was going well. One of the girls in the group is getting upset because we are not done and she thinks that because we are not almost done that we are behind and it’s not going to be done or done well. I’m not worried about it, but I think that is because I am pretty much done with what I need to do. Now I’m working on our model that I had hoped would be done last week. It wasn’t and I don’t care anymore. I can’t change it so I’m not going to stress over it.
I think these problems are just the reason that schools do group work. Even on a college level. You have to learn how to work with people and get the job done. This girl is a nice person she just wants everything perfect. Eventually she will learn it will almost never happen that way. Something will go wrong. I know for her a big part of it is that she wants to keep her GPA up. I gave up on that after my dad died and I couldn’t get some of the work done for my classes in time for the end of the term 2 weeks later. Apparently Baker Collage doesn’t think that a parent dying is a good reason to give an incomplete. Anyway I think this is a good learning experience for everyone and I’m happy that they had a class like this.
