Me ranting about group assignments (1 Viewer)

[monique66]

Man i hate group assignmnets...i always get stuck with all the work while everyone else gets to play 'fairies' or something. I'm sick of it! And if i just give up then none else does any work so either was i'm screwed. People need to actually contribute to group assignments cause i hate doing all the work. Man, i hate this shit and i always get landed with a shitloaded of crap to do for OTHER people. I'm seriously considering sabbatage so my other group members FAIL...mwahaha! Dammit i dun wonna fail either...how do you get other people to do work? Why is it MY responsibility, why does this keep happening to me? The syllabus should be changed so that noone has group assignmets because people never contribute evenly. Man, if one of my members gets a better mark than me i will have to KILL them...

*sighs*

[monique66]

I had a group assesment for SDD, This guy I did it with, was working really hard, but I wasn't as hard, i felt bad because I didnt realise how much effort he put in, while I was putting enough to get me by ... we ended up getting 1st at least, i made it up by doing most the documentation

 

[goan_crazy]

i hate group assessments!
we r getting one for IPT our major project
if ppl dont do the work...u get marked down 2

We had a group assessment for preliminary in IPT, however not for a HSC assessment (our 'major' project is individually). This is because a few years ago my teacher had a HSC group assessment, and people complained because of the slackers ruining their mark, or them getting a mark they did not deserve if the other person in the group did all the work.

 

[Sham]

awh, i only did a group assessment for prelim IPT and well, needless to say, it failed pretty darn badly. haha, ranting is good and at least here you won't get told for it, after doing a lighter version of your rant to the teacher, she pretty much said that was what group working is.. all you can do really is hassle them into doing the work or guilt them.. either one should work. ooooor... just keep plotting their demise here to make you feel better! haha!

regardless of the people you hate or are lazy, you still need to get along. this is sort of a preparation in the future, Teamwork at work,home, family etc....you cant avoid it even in uni

 

[melsc]

I hated them...always got stuck with peeps who wouldnt do it...so i used to do it all rather than risk them not doing it or not doing it properly

 

[goan_crazy]

well our group assessment for prelim we didnt even get our marks back let alone the assessment for IPT

Thats true. You guys better get used to group work. I've got about 4 or 5 assessments in this semester alone which involve groupwork at uni

 

[IceBreaker]

is there any course that doesnt have any groupwork?

 

[Cape]

I don't think so. Most courses will have some sort of group work involved in it. But it helps for real life situations, especially in the workplace.

 

[Cape]

nevre done a group thing in busines, maths or english

have in IPT and Legal before

never in hsc only in prelim

murf

murf - I think he meant at uni. Uni has such a strong focus upon group work.

 

[monique66]

meh, this was was for english actually...and i had it today, it felt really weird and i was still peeved at my group members for leaving everything to the night before! and then fixing it up 5mins before we went in to the asessment!!!

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

i like group work...it can be frustrating but thats why u then talk to and communicate with ur group members and u fix the problem together. if ppl are slack u yell until they're too scared to do anything but comply with what the rest of the group says. thats how its always been 4 me in every group assignment ive ever done and it works

 

[Zoltan]

You're right, group work sucks. You always get put in a group with the dumbest and/or laziest people, and end up doing all the work because you don't want to get a bad mark just because no one else in your group could be fucked doing anything. Then you hand the work in and the rest of your group takes credit for doing it, because they don't want to get in trouble by admitting they did bugger all. Then they start EXPECTING you to do all the work every time, and when you don't, you ALL get in trouble; and you can't explain it to the teacher cos you sound like a whining bitch.

I just realised I sound like a whining bitch anyway.

i had a group work assignment in prelim for IPT and i was with all my friends and it was fantastic, we all divided up the workload and everything got done. we got excellent marks and we've worked together fantastically ever since.

but there are times in drama, when group work is part of your hsc, when things go wrong. at the moment we have a group assessment where we have to use music and create movement to it.. and im in a group with a titanic obsessant, so everything is about a boat. we are using titanic music and he takes us the entire lesson talking about where this song goes in the movie.. i had to draw the line yesterday when he got angry with one of the other group members and started strangling her...

 

[ishq]

We always get group work in English - so i know where you're coming from damnation. All the chapter analysis etc etc. And its always a last minute job, especially if you're only given class time to finish the work. Who does work in class in a group?
IPT in prelim was terrible! I got stuck with all the documentation! There was no division of work - just "i'll do the easy bits"

 

[monique66]

strangling hey? I never thought about that, but now that you mention it...Haha...seems a bit extreme. Man i feel truly glad i dun do drama or IPT because there is so much group work As you can see this is what i have to look forward to in life
