I realized yesterday that I have or will have a small group in every single one of my classes this semester, most of them lasting the entire semester. Before this semester I would maybe have worked with a group here and there, but never for such an extended period of time.
What this makes me realize is how essential it is to get along with your group. Previously if a group member slacked off or didn't do their work, it wasn't really anything to worry about; the project only lasted a week anyway. But having groups that last an entire semester makes me see the reality behind small groups: When you have them in the real world, they will last for a long time. It is not often in a business setting to have a small group that you work in for only a week or two. Most of the time you work with your same group until your position in the company changes.
Moral of the story is: be prepared to deal with small groups, because they aren't going anywhere.
