answer:Many community colleges and four-year institutions that specialize in business-type degrees seem to require group projects less for the project itself and more for the opportunities to learn about group dynamics, project leadership and other skills that have a very real place in the world of work. So while you are doing the project with your various groups, they hope you are building the skills to be a productive employee. In the work environment, it is not at all uncommon to work in groups on behalf of your employer’s goals and this type of school work is often seen as preparation for that aspect of employment. It could be argued that Small Group Communications and other classes might actually better help you learn the skills, but the opportunities to practice the skills can be invaluable.
