group projects!!

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Me too!
And everyone in my group always gets frustrated at me that I don't have a facebook and they can't contact me as easily.
Uggghh.

 

[MickeyisBeast]

Me too! Most people take it as a time to goof around and we hardly ever get anything done. I'd much rather do it myself and do everything my way

I have a 15-20 minute speech presentation to do with my group on thursday at 4. we've only met out of class once, and that was today, and only one other person showed up. This is ridiculous.

 

[Stitch4Prez]

I hate them too, I end up doing 95% of the work. Then the 5% they do they mess up.

 

[wdwllamadancer]

Same. I had my first experience with one this term. Of course, I wound up doing all the work.

 

[grandfloluver]

Tell me about it! Everybody in my group always slacks and I have todo every bit of it. I always have the dumb and mean ppl in my group and i honestly don't trust them with anything.

This thread is PERFECT for how I feel right now! I have to spend spring break doing a group project by myself. It's pretty much a 5 hour presentation on the Vietnam war. My partner's life is "too busy" to work on the project ._.

really? i love group projects!

we are doing a group project atm in geography for this earthquake in Turkey, we are doing a news report, and my group of friends is really tight knit, and 'cause geography is a form lesson (we are all in the same form) we are always in groups together, and i have some really awesome pictures and videos from our last geography lessons. seriously, we went outside, to take some pictures of the rubble from the school they are building next door, and we spent about 45mins out there, peeing ourselves from laughter, and we got loads of work done too, because we are so close, we arent afraid just to say, 'OI! we did this, so you need to do some too, otherwise its not fair' and we all totally understand.

but i see where you are coming from if you are put in groups, i hate when the teacher chooses our groups. :|

 

[lost-in-stereo]

I hate group projects too

I'm either the person who does all the work, or the people in thr group think I'm too dumb to do anything so they won't let me do anything, so when we have to present it or turn it in I feel like I don't deserve the grade or accomplished....

I hear ya! A few weeks ago we had to make a short film for english. She gave us two class days (thursday and friday) to do it and then it was due monday. My partners are my friends, but, don't get me wrong, they're not project people. They had us get together on SUNDAY to film the whole thing. 10 shots a scene at 20 scenes was not easy to do in 8 hours. I was so fed up by the end of the day! Luckily we got a 95.

I really dislike them also. That's why I normally ask the teacher when were doing a "group project" if I can just do it by myself that way I can do it on my time and just get it over with... That remind me I have one due tommorrow I've barely even started but it won't be too hard I should probably get on it. But I'm doing one in family health right now with 2 other girls that's due at the end of thos week I believe and I think I'm going to end up doing all of it but I'm not going to complain since one of the girls mom's unexpectedly died on Friday and the other girl is this girls best friend... I don't mind with the circumstances and would much rather let her relax and take care of things in her life right now and let the other girl be her support system and there for her in this really tough time.

I hate group projects, too. Most of the time I get stuck in a group with a bunch of annoying people, people who don't do their work, or people which all they do is mess around. Most of the time I have to do all the work while they mess around or talk. It's so annoying. But a lot of times I get in a group withmy friends, and it's us who does all the talking and not-working. I guess it depends on who i'm stuck with.

My group is supposed to meet at 4 today. I'm waiting fifteen minutes, and if no one is there again, I'm leaving. Last time, one other person and I waited for an hour, and no one showed up. This is so ridiculous. We have to give this presentation on THURSDAY. I could just scream. I'm so tired of these lazy people just coasting through life on the coat tails of others. This is COLLEGE, you can't just lay around and let other people do all your work for you.

I can't wait for this semester to be over.

The one girl who has been an absolute road block for the entire group project didn't show up, again. She hasn't shown up, or contributed at all to the entire project. I'm so irritated

 

[life of the party]

aw shelby, you always have the worst luck with these kinds of things!

aw shelby, you always have the worst luck with these kinds of things!

I know right!

This girl wasn't someone I would have picked to be in my group, she was assigned to us. My class had enough for 5 groups of 5, and two were absent on the day we picked groups. one group wanted one of the guys who was absent, and the other girl got put in my group, because we only had four. She's pissed off that she can't be in the group with her friends, so she doesn't even talk to us when we're in class, she sits across the room, talking to her friends.

And when i asked her what days she is free, so we could plan to meet, she said, "I don't even know." and ignored me. And she didn't give ANYONE her contact information, so we had no way to get into contact with her, until we found her on facebook. which was hard, because she doesn't spell her name correctly. (and by correctly, I mean, the way its spelled on the class list. Its like she spelled shelby as chellbie. Its weird, so we couldn't find her in a search)

So today we were supposed to meet at 4, and two of the guys and I are waiting for fifteen minutes, before we head up to one of the quiet study rooms in the library, and she never showed up. I get home, and at 4.30 she sent me a message on facebook and asked where we are. Well maybe you'd know if you showed up on time!! And SHE picked hte time and place to meet. I mean, my god.

I'm just ready for it to be over. We've pretty much written her out of the presentation. She has a two minute part, out of a 20 minute presentation.
