Admit it college professors, when you go to group work in class, it’s only to kill time?

Sounds like you are not at a good college. For me, group work was interesting, and I can only remember one person who was as you describe. It’s a shame you are having this experience, as when things go well, you learn a lot.

Wouldn’t that depend on what the group was doing? As a student, I totally despised “group work” and even more “group projects.” I still dislike most of it. But in some areas of life, group work is unavoidable. In one area that I love–making music–group work is the essence!

As for the motives of your particular professors, ask them. Some just want to reduce the number of projects they will have to grade. It’s lazy, and it drives the “Hermione Granger” kind of students up the walls. But if they must grade 350 college research papers in a week because that’s how big the class is, I can sympathize. Not approve–but sympathize.

It sounds as though you are too lazy to pull your share of the load in group work. You had better get used to it, because you will need those skills in the world of real work later on. Students are not supposed to be passive consumers of education as if the profs were some kind of mama birds stuffing worms down your throat. You need an attitude adjustment.

about the last part where you put students are like endentured servants i think you are totally right and i know exactly what youm mean

and thats why when ppl like u grow up and finnish up theyre the ones who shovel our crap and wipe our butts for us while we laugh in a puddle of our own urine, making sweet love to their women cuz htye cant afford cheeseburgers at teir own place of employment. yours truly mc’ds

Nope, sorry.

Learning how to collaborate, clarify, and negotiate are important steps in GROWING UP.
