Group Projects

You know when you have to do a group project with people that you absolutely want to punch in the face? Or who literally doesn't do anything at all? Or the one who does too much? Here are a few tips to combat the bad group members.

1) Establish a set of rules early on. Let Sally-Talks-A lot know that she isn't the only one with good ideas, this way the other members of the group don't feel inferior to this beast. 

2) Set aside a rewards system for a job well done at the end of the project. This reinforces the need to do great work, and also pushes the slackers. If a cookie or some type of sweet doesn't satisfy their needs, screw em'. 

3) Always end on a good note. Even though you may not have enjoyed this (or these) group members' company, you don't want to burn bridges. Just in case you have to work with the assholes again.
