Group projects/artsy shoebox-esque projects

Do boarding schools assign them often?
Note: I don’t mean you can’t have ART projects in ART. I mean will your lit teacher ask you to create a poster, or your french teacher make you bake a cake and describe it in french? And group projects is self explanitory I think.

I guess group projects wouldn’t be as bad at boarding school-the large majority of the group would care about their grade as much as you do, I’d think. Still they can be annoying at times, as can the above poster/cake type thing. What does baking a cake teach me about French? Not much. Describing it may, but I’d rather do it in an essay (obviously, I’m not artistic).

So, does anyone with experience know if they often assign those types?
