Group Projects

It is extremely difficult to work in large groups comprising of different people. I am not saying that I am anti-social or doesn't wish to share anything but given the short time-frame, it'd be better to sometimes do things yourself rather to waste time editing another person's work.

There are other typical factors that lead to project success/failure

1) Proper time management - With less people, there will be less time management. Because everybody's time is different, it is difficult to make everyone meet for discussions. Some wishes to spend less in tutorials, some wishes to spend more. Some have to go for their family activities, some have friends gatherings. Some sacrifice their time to work while others simply do not have time to discuss.

2) Lack of a good leader - Leaders plays an important part in the team. He/she is able to see the strengths and weaknesses of each team member. Forming a team structure is also essential, by delegating the right job to the right person is the next.

A leader is also a person who earns respect from the rests and he/she sets the group's objectives right. He/she must also make the right judgements and forsees the outcome when decisions are made and shall be responsible for whatever consequences are to come.

However, I have yet to see a good leader.
