My boyfriend is a graudate student here at Clemson and he has done many group projects. There was one time when he had to do a very large report for his group project. There was a lot of miscommunication occuring throughout the group because it was right around when the project was due. Nick spent many hours doing what he thought the report should be about. It turned out that he had done the completely wrong thing and had to go back at the last minute and change everything! This miscommunication could have been prevented by talking amongst others. Even though they were crushed for time, they could have still layed out the important details of the project so that each member knew what he/she was doing!
