Group Project

We have a group project presentation today, and sometimes for group projects you can get by fine with everyone in the group being assigned a task with a due date, and just putting a presentation together together. However our anthropological research on the experiences of women in their work and education is not the type of project where you can get by like this.
We are supposed to discuss our findings (the simliarities we found between all of the women/ what we didn't find similar that we were surprised about). While we did have these analysis grids separating different kinds of information and writing the answers each woman gave to our same questions, I don't think that this sheet of paper will be enough. I'm nervous because the information that we got is not as uniform as I would like it to be. I kind of made some assumptions about my findings (not that nicole incorporated them into the presentation or anything) and I'm worried that I will make some sort of statement and someone will chime in like "uh no that doesn't apply to my informant" and then I will look incompetent :(

Group projects just stress me out. I prefer leading people, because I know that I can get things done and assign work accordingly and work with people if they are having problems. I don't like giving all of this responsibility to other people (nichole). I feel like she doesn't really work with the group. It also bothers me that she's leading it because I think she is just doing it because she doesn't trust anyone else to. I don't really like how our whole group doesn't really want to work together, most of them are kind of grumpy that way. Oh well it's almost over, and i'll be sure to try to include as much as I can in my evaluation of them.
