Most of us greet the prospect of a group writing project with a mixture of dread and grudging acceptance of the inevitable: I just have to get through this thing to get my grade. These feelings stem from our memories of projects that blew up, generated the equivalent of World War V among group members, or landed the group with a dismal D because one of the group members disappeared or turned in wretched work only hours before the project’s deadline. However, collaborative writing can actually be a positive experience, where team members’ strengths outweigh each other’s weaknesses.
