  5. Grad school group projects

    CassB replied to icurn11's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Ugh...I have always hated group work. I think it is a personality thing though. Even at home and work, I would much rather just do things myself so I can get them done without waiting on anyone else...

    CassB replied to sheronep's topic in Post Graduate Students
