do these piss anyone else off? had months to do a project, one guy never showed up and when he did he did fuck all so i ended up doing most of the groundwork. it ended up being shit because i couldnt be arsed doing antyhing more if no one else was doing anything.
then we had to do a presentation on the project, the third guy again never showed up to do any work on it and i again did it all with at least some input from the 2nd guy this time. today was presentation day and there was a 2 hour slot for our groups with the instruction given that if youre not there at 2 you fail.
guess who didnt show up? the third guy who then casually pokes his head around the door at 3!
on the plus side the lecturer told me id done very well in all aspects given the situation

I fucking hate them!
Mainly as I am aprt time.
They say, owe 4 of you need to work together.
Great, so I have to work with 3 people who I will not see during the project and people I do not talk to, as I am part time so there is a divide.
When I say can I do it on my own, they usually go, no! It is a team presentation and we get a shit mark.
Yet the one I have done on my own, I got a first for!!!!

Just as bad getting grouped up with people who don't speak a word of English.

This!
My first assignment at Uni was a group report. There was four of us at the start. Two people quit a week into it and then the other girl left days before the deadline  Was a fucking nightmare!

I loved my group work in Uni. Of course there were the ones who didn't bother/copy everyone else's work but everyone else in our year group just bunched together and helped each other out then go and present in separate groups. I remember shitting it about doing presentations but now I have to do them most days

We kicked one girl out of our group. As far as I know she got ungraded for quite a big module. She pissed off back to Germany at half term when we were working and made no contact. She apparently was ill and I'm sure she could have sent a txt or email just letting us know.
Little did I know, as I was group leader and instigated the removal, she was from one of the most powerful, wealthiest families in Germany.
But our uni always preached on about the business nature. She didn't perform in a business way, so she was sacked.
Fair game I say.

Well I have a negotiation exercise exam in January (8th) and we are doing it in pairs.
My partner today emailed me:
'Hi mate I am your partner on xxx project. It looks easy so we can start it early January. I am off skiing and will not be back till January anyway so we can discuss it then'
WTF!!!!
