Paper for Class is Due...

[Fly By Night]

My group was supposed to be working on it, but we did not even start talking about it. Turns out this paper is supposed to be almost 1000 words long and it is due by midnight tomorrow. I sent out a mass email to my group to see if we can get together and get this done, but NO ONE has replied me. (I sent the email yesterday) I feel like it is sort of my fault too since I did not check the syllabus to find the date it was due.

If this was a individual paper, I would be using this time to type that **** right now. Should I wait a little longer for a reply or should I type this whole damn thing myself? I really wanted to get good grades this year and OF COURSE I run into problems by having a group. :box:

The group obviously has low IL, I'd go NC for a few days.



On topic, is this High School or College?

A thousand words is four pages. You should be able to write that much in an hour.

It ought to tell you something about our educational system that a four-page paper is a group assignment for four people.

Group projects suck b@lls. I've always hated them. One person does 90+ percent of the work.

Unfortunately, that person has to be you.

Just start writing by yourself. If you get some "help" from the others, great, but don't count on it. If you wait for a response from the others, you will lose precious time.

As unfair as it is, it's your grade. Gotta look out for yourself.

But, I need to stay in the relationship for the grade

This is college.

Assuming I don't have to look up anything for references. I could type this paper up by today, I just think it is sort of unfair... I just HATE writing papers, part of the reason I became a technology major. I am going to start texting some of them, but this is stupid as hell, they seem like the unmotivated, party scene type too. Worse comes to worst, I'll start on the paper in 2 hours.

Okay, I will start on it then. I'll do it for my grade instead of the group!

submit the paper with only your name on it.

Better yet, submit the paper with all the four names but INTENTIONALLY MISPELL theirs to send a clear message to both the teacher and those cvnts.

haha i like that idea. Group projects are so lame, Id rather do it by myself so i dont have to rely on people .

Haha, nice idea, but realistically speaking I wouldn't do that. I am just going to put their names on the paper, but send the teacher a complaint about some of them. I mean one person from the group sent in a paper for us before, but it was only supposed to be 2 paragraphs long.

Update

One person from the group said that he can meet up with me to work on it together, and I am going to send out another mass email for others to join. I was working on the paper for the past hour and I got 400 words on the paper. So hopefully we can be done in time for the dance tonight.

AS long as cvnts are allowed to be cvntish with no conseguences they will have no reason to cease their behaviour.

But I realize you're still in college so you have to keep it easy, well man you surely know better than us what is more appropriate...just trust your gut and dont be nice if its not necessary.

Assh0les dont stop till they meet someone whos more than them.

Happened to me before. Though I didn't start last minute. Tried and tried to contact people and get them involved. In the end, I just dropped it and submitted my own work and notified the instructor ahead of time and told them the story.

If you explain yourself clearly and the instructor isn't a huge douche, you should have no problems.

Okay, thanks so much for the responses. Two people (out of 6) showed up to help with the paper and we finished it all up!

I will send out emails to say that we finished it up with no f***ing help from everyone else. One person replied to the emails saying that they don't check their email... And the other 3 are just ghost. Benefit of the doubt to that one person who replied, but I will have to let the rest know what's up.

Thanks again, but I still feel like I shouldn't make a huge deal out of it since I didn't bring it up to them in person so it could have easily escaped anyone's mind. I'll let the teacher know I have just a small complaint, if they go ghost on the next paper then I want their a**es to get zeros.

Do it all yourself.
If you don't, you're stupid
