Is group work overrated?  Vide

My last two blogs on university education prompted a torrent of comments. The first, 'Does University Business Education Still Pay', looked at the poor research standings of many Australian business schools. The second, 'Not Failing Students is Failing Business', considered the problems with soft marking.

What's your experience of group work at uni? Add your comment below

I’m still getting emails and one of the more interesting comments is that there is too much group work in master’s and undergraduate business courses. This is an important issue for entrepreneurs considering university education. Group skills are vital in all business forms, and successful start-up entrepreneurs are usually adept at leveraging scarce resources of others through their ability to work in groups.

But should up to half the assessment in some courses be based on group work, where typically teams of three of four students work together on large projects?
