From the below type of "problem students" consider how you and your group would go about working with this student if he or she were assigned to your group. What actions would you take? How could you minimize the problems and maximize the contributions? What resources could you call on?

1. The "Know-it-all." These students have a lot of information, but only want to tell the rest of you what to do. They do not listen to what the rest of you have to say, and they are convinced that their way is the only way to do things.

I'm graduating this fall from UC Berkeley as an EECS major (electrical engineering and computer science). It's a tough major, and not something I really wanted to major in (it was just too late by the time I realized) so my GPA is really low...like, less than 3.0. :( How difficult would it be for me to get into a good MLS program? Will getting good GRE scores & having work experience help?

Okay, here's the deal. The battle of Saratoga is often considered the turning point of the American Revolution. However, without the Battle of Bennington, the British would have won for sure. I am writing an essay for my History class (due tomorrow, or else I wouldn't be asking on here), and I need fact, support, concrete detail, however you would like to describe it. Here are the points I have collected for each one:

Battle of Bennington: did not allow supplies to get to Saratoga, halted men to get there

Battle of Saratoga: greater scale (patriots killed more Brits), gave a sense of nationalism

Unfortunately, I need to choose one or the other, without qualifying it ( I agree with this, but...) Can you help me come up with some more points? This is a standard 5 paragraph essay, so I need seven more facts.

Thank you!!! Your help is much appreciated!!!
