Dark Side of Groupwork

As teacher trainee, there are many opportunities to have group work. Many of the trainees prefer groupwork. In fact, despite fostering cooperation, is groupwork a good option?
Groupwork is good because it makes an assignment an informative and complete one. This is because every individual is assigned a part of the topic and work on it. When the scope is more specific, we can go deeper into the topic. Then, the product would be a informative one.
However, when the group members are not in good mood or emationally disturbed, there might be disputes and quarrels occur. This is the dark side of groupwork, where the group members will most likely have bad impression of one another. If this happened, the aim of groupwork is corrupted. It won't foster cooperation, but destroy the good relationship between the members.
Huhu..
