Who would not want to be in a position where things actually get easier? Juggling college class assignments are hard enough but if you are in a good group this can actually make your job easier leading to more time for other projects or doing those other kind of things that make college life interesting.   
 So we have been talking about a lot of the benefits that comes from working in a group environment that thrives on diversity of personalities, work ethics…etc. This diversity in a group generally provides a more developed research platform which results in a more thorough discussion of an issue. This naturally suggests that the group will achieve a better grade because of this critical thinking and analysis. So who would not want a better grade? Working in a collaborative environment teaches responsibility not just in completing your own work but also being a part of the team effort. People are counting on you to help by pulling your share of the work and helping everyone to get a better grade. This forms a commitment or bond between the members of the group knowing that each person will pull their own weight to successfully compete the assignment. You learn trust and reliance which are skills you can use in other classes as well as on the job.
