I think that my professor is in the business of making things difficult. With his constant interference in our group project nothing is getting done. If someone has an idea he seems to make sure that everyone disagrees on it. If everyone likes it he shoots it down. Groups are hard enough to handle without an outside "observer" who grades you and acts as if he doesn't understand the simplest drawings and concepts. Today is the middle of week three and he acts like we haven't done enough to work on our project when every step of the way he's alternately told us to do a project on our own, work together, take a week to look at the area we are working in, and baffling ability to change his mind ever 30 minutes I'm surprised anything gets done at all.
In the meantime we have group members who act helpful but aren't, and a another video project to work on that we have yet to begin.
When the group dynamic is constantly being destroyed by it's leader it's doomed to fail. In any case I've got until Aug 6 with this class. After which new and more interesting hurdles will have to be faced.
