<p>Those spine chilling words “group project” do not go away. They are even there when one attends graduate school, and it’s hell being the “smart one” when you’re 48 years old! Classes begin with a few, smaller, in-class groups and that’s where the leeches learn who will do the work and from then on, the signal,“break into small groups”, unleashes a feeding frenzy. Supposedly, it is to mirror what goes on in the " working world", but the only groups I ever saw at work were clustered around a computer screen, watching videos on YouTube or looking at real estate sites!</p>
