You are assigned a group project for the class, you will be graded as a group, and your individual grade will be decided on the group's performance relative to other groups. Would you like this arrangement?

What will be an ideal response?


Clearly, it depends on whether you are lazy or motivated. If you are lazy, you can free-ride on others' actions and get a grade way better than what you deserve. However, if you are a motivated student, then you probably don't want to be in a group, as it becomes exceedingly difficult to do your job and to make sure others do theirs as well. Probably the final grade you get might be lower than what you deserve.
