Let me tell you a story about my previous semester and uni. I had group work and my grades are usually average and im timid so i am not great at group work. My partner refused to start the report early and refused to contribute. My final straw was when she finally decided to work, she dismissed my research (a months worth) and then tried to copy and paste it all as her own work. So you see, there was 2 parts to this group work 1) the presentation and 2) indivudual reports. Day of the presentation, I stand up present the whole thing as my own work since i did it alone, evaluated her as unhelpful. And s since my report held all the same references as the presentation it became eveident it was all my work. And since anger fired me up i worked harder, i got a decent mark of 85. And my partner? She got a 0 on the group part and a 45 on the report. Last i heard she dropped out of uni for failing the unit. No regrets. I may be timid but i dont take Crap from group work projects. (▰˘◡˘▰)
Did the same thing to a group mate. I won't sacrifice my grades just because of someone's failure to cooperate. Group works are better done early so that you could make more time for other things
Totally agreed. I had 4 other reports due around the same week so i couldn't slack off. Besides group work is the most draining and time consuming so it has to be done first always so everyone can work on other things
Don't you just want to stab the group mates Jihye has? Everytime I get a group mate like that, our groupmates drop them off immediately since they don't really contribute anyway.
