    There are actually two phases:
    1) Doing everything by yourself the night before.
    2) Making sure your group members can explain what you did in case the tutor asks them to.

      I always put my name last because that is grammatically correct if I'm writing it.

      When I was in school I'd refrain from putting my name first cause I thought people would find me conceited or something, so I would always put it somewhere in the middle lol. But in college, here in Brazil, any academic document must list the participants in alphabetical order, so that solves it

    This is really how group projects go:
    1) A group is formed
    2) You each decide which parts each of you will do
    3) You do your part
    4) The group says they'll do their part later but they never do it
    5) You are stuck doing everyone's part because they won't do it and you would've been better off doing it alone
    So basically, a group project is an individual project with a few other people taking most of the credit for something they had no part in

      3) You don't do your part
      4) The group says they'll do their part later but they never do it
      5) you present the project. the teacher admits failure and move on.

    -Guy who did a moderate amount of work gives everyone low scores
    -Guy who presented and answered the most bullshit questions in the most dodging ways doesn't score at all

    I once had an engineering group project where we had to build a little device that could transport a golf ball up a ramp and shoot it over a wall. I was in charge of the manufacturing and was kind of waiting on the design and materials stage to be completed before I could take over with my part.
    Finally when I got the all clear it was the night before we had to test the devices performance (which I was totally fine with). I had it all worked out, I had all the tools and materials ready to go (It was quite a solid design with pvc, aluminium, springs etc.).
    It got to about 11pm at night and one of the group members (a crazy control freak chick) starts private messaging me outside the group chat, saying that she thinks I won't finish in time and will do a crap job. I then sent her a video response of the little device working perfectly, rolling along my floor and shooting the ball. She said it was crap and asked for my address to come pick it up so that she could work on it overnight.
    I got fed up with all her messages so gave her my address and left it outside my front door, then went to bed. So she comes over to my house at around 1am, turns out she didn't have a car and lived far away. She had caught the train with her mum and walked a few kilometres to my house... wtf
    So the next day we are waiting at uni to do our test run for the assignment and my teammates are grilling me as to why I gave it to this crazy chick. She finally rocks up with a super big grin on her face, and dumps this bag of shit onto the workbench. It's literally a heap of toilet paper rolls held together with string and sticky tape...completely different to my working model (which she had disassembled in the process of building her abstract art piece). It honestly looked like a pre-school toddler had put it together for a mothers day gift or something.
    Btw this video was funny af!! Love your work man. :)

    2) if you have foreign people in your group just smile and say yes and ok a lot
    3) if you have a presentation, give each member a script and tell them learn/read it
    4) don't be surprised when you barely get a thank you at the end

We had to explain how it worked and stuff too, but my team was always fighting and couldn't decide on anything. So I left the team and ask my teach if I could work by myself, he said no. I did it anyways cuz I really didn't want to work with them. On the day that we're turning it in, one of my friends shows up after being absent for a week (Before the project even started), that's when I saw an opportunity. I gave half the credit to him and he finished up the last thing that I completely forgot to do (Got lucky there). When I turned it in my teach asked if I did this by myself, I grew stiff but said no and told him that me and my friend worked at home (I don't even know where he lives). Glad to say we got a higher score than the other team.

      Haha good one, I assumed this was the case too and lost marks for 'communication', in that I didn't have other group members... RIP. Once I realized was going to lose points I asked a couple of deadbeats to join my group (even though I had finished the project). I was literally going to write their names in marker wherever necessary and wasn't even going to mention to the teacher they did nothing. Except being the deadbeats they were for whatever reason this was somewhat of an insult to their integrity and they said (with literally an hour till due) that they were going to pull something off, and didn't need my help. I was dumbfounded.
      Conclusion: I got full points for content and lost marks for communications. They dropped out shortly after - however I don't think this project would have affected their decisions on that front.

      in my 7 man college communications group I had 6 no shows. Since I couldn't get in a new group u had to do the assignment myself, 7 peoples jobs which was probably 4 people's work. I then got a B because I didn't give my group credit for the work they didn't do.

    In group work, I’m usually the brains of it all, and work out a model that plays to their strengths and weaknesses. I give the artsy kid illustrations, the not so smart kids get less of the project to do, smarter kids get more parts, and I usually either give myself the usual work for one of the smart kids and also the extra pieces if the parts don’t divide evenly. I typically try to get things done a few days in advance, so that I can go over everything and correct what mistakes that there are. In the end, there’s so much that needs to be corrected that I end up with like 60% of the work, if not all.

      When most of your lecturer alr knows these types of people exist, so they allow you to report on which member isnt active and also adding bonus points to your project (because you did it alone). But then some people will be struck with the guilt of "friendship" that they dont tell the lecturers that their partner didnt do their job properly/at all.

    1) Collect every member's information. Names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, etc.
    2) Delegate assigned roles and responsibilities to each member.
    3) Plan a schedule for group announcements/reminders and set deadlines for a sufficient amount of work to be completed.
    3.5) If a member is being unresponsive or difficult, take note of their words and action (or lack of) and inform the instructor if necessary. Their uncooperation will be noted in the instructor's peer review.
    4) Remember to be consistent, clear, and concise about your instructions and intentions. When it comes to professionally managing a group of people, it's best to be firm but respectful.

      If that happens, make sure to inform your teacher about the issue. After that one of three things will happen: you will be ignored and later on will be failed for not joining a group, second: you could be granted a permission to work alone which might sound good, but will only increase your anxiety and self-disappointment, and a third: where you are put in a group of similar rejects which later will become your friends, sort of...(inspiration ended here)

      depends on the course and college. Some courses you have to make a group if you fail to sign up for a group before the deadline they will throw you in a random one, for other courses the prof/assistant will make groups beforehand sometimes based on grades for other courses.
