Take Group Projects & Presentation Serious.

These are the important skills you’ll be needed once you entered the workforce. Learning how to present yourself in front of a group of people is as valuable as any GPA.

It takes ability to participate, to engage, to practice being uncomfortable, to teach others, to master content, and list goes on. In group work, don’t be afraid to lead, provide an opinion, work harder than everyone, respect deadlines, and help others who struggle. All skills that are valuable and used later.
