What do you think of group projects igned in college?

I understand the concepts behind learning to work in a group. However, I have found that I learn almost nothing from group projects and can't get a complete picture of the entire project. It also creates strategic problems where several people have to work out a schedule to meet and work on it. In a work environment - that would not be an issue, but it is in college. Tell me your experiences....I just finished the written section of one project - all that is left is the presentation. I can't wait for it to be over!
