La Jetee review

It is less people to keep track of and communicating should be easier. If i were to be working by myself, i wouldn't be able to hear the brilliant ideas that another person has brought to the table that i probably wouldn't have thought of myself.  It is a relieving feeling to know that both of us do our work because a lot of times in group projects, some members do...
