Team Assignments in Online Class?

[alleycat]

Now that enrollment in my Capstone course is right around the corner, all of the details of the course syllabus actually is starting to matter to me.

I notice that for several weeks in a row, there are team assignments. What? How are busy working adults supposed to get together to do team assignments?? When are we supposed to do it? I've taken online classes, but only a couple and I didn't have to work in a team.

I like people and teamwork, but relying upon other people that are all over the country to become a good team sounds like a nightmare. I really wish I would have thought about this!

Does anyone have any experience with this and if so, do you have advice?

Thanks

Oh my this is a nightmare. I can not even stand face to face team projects. I don't believe they work out to well. It always seems like one or two people in the whole team get all of the work done.

Do you already have your team assigned to you? If so all you can do is communicate with them and plan to probably have to get way more work done then the rest of the people on your team. It is not fair but thats how these things go. It's almost over. You can make it.
