A Journal Entry- Is Group Work Beneficial?

Working in groups can be very difficult at times because not everyone wants to follow one idea,one leader or one rule. Sometimes it feels very annoying when people keep going off topic and aren't getting work done also if one person goes off topic the whole group gets blamed for it. In my opinion group work is not very beneficial because people easily wonder off to other topics and it gets hard to focus again and individual work gets done a lot better and faster.  The best part about the Terry Fox groups was when we finally were able to get recordings done and be able to present them. The worst part was when members had to keep leaving to help other groups, fooled around, kept using devices, weren't helping to write the script, recording random things and wondered off to various topics.
