Answer 2

Advantages:
1.) "two heads are better than one" cliche that allows options and often new thinking on a project.
2.) teaches you patience, good listening skills, organizational skills, tolerance, fairness and compromise
3.) teaches you how to work with people of different backgrounds, nationalities and personalities to accomplish the same goal.
4.) If anyone in the group is a "lightweight" the entire group can usually rise to the ocassion, work together and still get a great grade for everyone.


Disadvantages:
1.) "Too many cooks in the kitchen spoils the pudding" cliche that can wreak havoc in a group if no one takes the lead to control the direction or discussion.
2.) can lead to confusion, diversions from what needs to be accomplished, disagreements that can go unresolved.
3.) lack of cooperation on everyone's part to do their equal share of the work, research, etc.
4.) If someone in the group is purposely sabotaging the efforts of the rest of the group, you ALL suffer the consequences...
