Best and Worst Experience In a group!

I would have to say that last semester I worked with one of the best groups in my years here at IUPUI.  For my intro to sound class we had to get together as a group of around six to accomplish a final project.  We organized everyone's skill set and utilized it to produce an entire video with sounds we created.  We planned out efficient dates that met everyone's schedule and each person brought something to the group that helped us accomplish the task.

I would have to say that my worst group that I have been in was during my digital story-telling final.  I depended on my partner to edit the video and post it to youtube and everything went south.  I ended up doing all the work, filming and editing, and assumed he could just upload the final piece to youtube.  This was not the case, and I ended up having to speak with the professor because my partner failed to do any work on the project.  He was also extremely bad, even worse than me, at procrastinating and putting off the work.  I believe that most groups fail when one person has to pick up the slack for another person that doesn't bring anything to the table.
