I am not all that crazy about group work. I came of age in the era when we all did our own work. Some years later, back in school as an adult, coming up against group work, I wasn't very crazy about it. One disruptive member in the group could make it very difficult for all the others.

I'm happy to do my own work, thank you very much, and I really do like getting the grade that I myself earn.
