When I was teaching World Literature, the final project involved group projects that took the whole semester to do.
I broke up students into groups of 5 and each group was responsible for doing a Powerpoint project together. I loved reading their Powerpoint presentations. They did projects titled, "How Dragons are viewed in Chinese (Eastern) culture vs American (Western culture). Each group had a group leader who was responsible for everyone turning in their slides on time and handing the final project to the assignment portal.
I would say most of my students enjoyed working on these group projects because most of my students like interacting with each other and learning from each other.
However, I had a few students these intrapersonal learners, who preferred working alone and they would tell me that they would prefer putting together their own Powerpoint final project rather than having to deal with group members who may not do their share of work, and they felt more comfortable working alone. These were my introverted students, so I allowed these students to turn in individual projects.
