    closest thing I have to group projects is doing physics labs in groups of two or three

    apart from the inbred fucktard who spelt 'regressional' as 'regreshinoal' the other week, most of the people are pretty alright

    maybe I'm just in a good year or something, lecturers for a few classes have mentioned that our test result averages were higher than previous years but I just assume they're bullshitting to build confidence

    i have a bunch of group projects this year

    luckily they appear to be pretty easy, to the point where if i have an idiot group i will do the whole thing myself.

    Actually I think I could probably do a better job on my own anyways...

    Man I love group projects because no matter how small the group there is always the same dude who has problems speaking in front of crowds & clams up during the presentation.

    Than I sweep in turning on my charisma and now by comparison, no matter how little stuff I am actually presenting on, will look so much better.

    You must be getting very lucky with your groups, because I almost always have to pull the weight of 1-2 others.

    At least at the end of the last class we got to evaluate our groupmates

    I always just ran counter-contingencies should any lazier group partner not pull their own weight or just not show up for a presentation.

    I also tend to immediately size up people so I will take over as management, and give them the easiest/smallest amount of work to mess up.

    Zonogul has the right of it.

    I'm anti-social but always look good in comparison to anybody I work with. And yeah I've been lucky with my groups, but even if I get the one who doesn't work I just tell the prof and he makes them work on their own.

    Of course you should have contingency plans if your group fucks you over, but that just illustrates why group projects generally are the worst.

    The worst one I had to do was an intro communications course; the instructor insisted that every member of a group work on every part together. No dividing up the labor, nothing.

    I remember doing a group project with two other guys in high school

    we sorted out what we'd all do, went home, did our parts, came back


    one guy had just done his own and basically said "yeah I did mine I'm not with you guys any more"

    I spent the next 10 minutes swearing at him, then told the teacher and me and the other guy got an extension and our final result shat on the bailer's

    In high school I did a group project with a friend of mine. He did only the brainstorming with me but none of the actual labor putting the presentation together.

    The day of the presentation I told the teacher this and my friend got a D+.

    I was justified.

    Ugh, my horrible psych teacher sent out an email to the whole class reading: "If you did now send me an orientation email, please let me know."

    How about if you did not receive an orientation email you let me know?
    By the way she had us send it through the class site which does now keep records of your sent emails.

    Coinage: I took some group discussion class and my group was just like that.
    Me in class, "hey, let's all give out our emails so we can talk to each other about this shit and when we finish our part we can email it to the group for feedback!"
    Them: "yeah that's a great plan, let's do that"

    then the fuckers never check their email and when I get to class I'm like wtf, and they're all "ah man, I didn't have 2 minutes of spare time over 4 days to check my email, oh and by the way I didn't finish my part of the project that I was supposed to have done today."

    Fucking assholes.

    Oh god dammit, fuck this Uni and my gay Social Sciences Department.

    Of course people fail at the Stats test if the people who review it only take the worst of your individual assignments into account.

    I lost 5 fucking points because I didn't cross out the assignment above.

    I would've failed anyway but still. This is such a dick move words fail me.

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    Yes it is. But there is no point in arguing. Now, if I would have passed the test with those 5 extra points I would've tried to raise goddamn hell.

    Be this as it may though, I'm beginning to loathe my department for more than just this stupid test. The entire system feels inhumane.
