I hated group work in school. It is incredibly frustrating to be forced to work with people who are not pulling their own weight, whether because they don't want to or just can't. Nonetheless, this is an important thing to learn to deal with. Frustration is part of life. So is dealing with both struggling and apathetic people.

- mathattack 10y agoI hated it too. Inevitably groups of 4-6 would devolve into groups of 2 who did all the work. I had one group in undergrad where all 4 people were rock solid, and that was enough to convince me that the Netflix high-concentration of talent approach has merit.
