Firstly, communication was very difficult; most of the group members were international students whose English was not perfect. Sometimes I had to send a lot of messages and they responded, most of them didn't even check their email; I would schedule meetings and no one would show up; and the worst thing is that they didn't even read the homework sheet, so most of the time we met they didn't know what we had to do. I felt I should be a professor rather than a student. During our meeting, instead of starting work right away, I had to spend a lot of time explaining things they should already know. Perhaps the worst thing was that 50 percent of my vote depended on them. I assume they didn't even know the grading rubrics since they wouldn't have read the homework sheet. For the individual part of the project the professor would give me 100%, but the grade of my group members would lower my overall grade. Overall, I appreciate both the positive and negative experiences; the good ones I would love to relive, but the bad ones I just want to use as a learning experience. These experiences will ultimately make me a better team member or perhaps a better leader. But one thing is certain: from those experiences I learned: communication and childlike spirit are essential
