Why collaborate?

In Ellen Lupton’s “why collaborate”, she states both why she like and also dislike about working in group. Group work can go either way, the good way or the bad way. Having a nice group will benefit you not only on your study but also your grade. Ellen Lupton state that “It’s a joy to work on a team whose members have clearly defined roles and distinctive skill set.” Im sure everyone here can relate to what Ellen mean. Having a group of member who know what they’re doing can make the project way easier. Group project can also be frustrating if you have members who decided to slack off “…however, when a few people are doing the heavy lifting and the others are there only to “insure consensus” or “weigh in” on concepts.” In some group work, slackers might exist just for taking other people’s credit, we call them the weight, which is use to describe as them pulling the rest of the group down.
