Mutual Accountability

I normally dread group projects. I am assigned one a semester, generally. I don't like them for the specific reason that I end up running them because I think the project should be the best it can be, not just average to get an average grade. I understand that everybody should put forth the same amount of effort, but I hardly ever see that happen. I know that the simple fact of it is that everybody has different priorities. If my priority is to get the best grade in my english class, seeing as it is my only class, it will most likely be a high priority. I will tend to put my best foot forward here because I am not stretched between too many group projects and other tests or classes to study for.

I know that this time I am trying my best not to take over. I want to let others have a bigger part but I know as it gets closser to the end of the semester I will become more frantic and more perfectionistic.
