What do you do when you dislike group work, but need to do it to in order to pass your paper?
You grit your teeth and get on with it .
My team is great to work with, but communication can be a little difficult at times. We have managed to meet up a couple of times and organise who will fit into each role, and how to divide up the group tasks. Surprisingly, I was chosen to be my group's Leader - something I didn't expect, as some days I can't even remember my own name! However, it is a role that I feel I can fulfill well, as I enjoy leadership, and the fun involved in bossing everyone around, as well as taking the reigns when people don't do their bit. Thankfully, everyone in our group has been working well and incredibly hard, and so I haven't had to be the "big bad wolf". Group work was not something I expected to be good at, but even though I prefer to work as an individual, I have thoroughly enjoyed being group Leader, despite the difficulties in communication. We seem to be well on track for handing in our assignment on time. Whilst researching the assignment, I found the ethical side of this assignment challenging, and had mixed feelings about my opinions regarding the topic. But my team was very supportive, and we came to a decision and sorted out that issue as a group. Overall, we are working well together, though we need to be more open in communication and more flexible when deciding times to meet as a group.

From what I can tell, facebook was probably not the best way for us to organise ourselves (even if most of us are on there non stop thanks to smartphones and tablets). Maybe next time a more official channel would be of better use :/ Thanks for being the leader though!
It is a lot easier to work by your self ae but I guess working in a team draws on everyone's strength to create a better end product. I agree the communication lacked sometimes but that being said we're going to hand it in on time which means it can't of been that bad.
