Group Schoolwork

[Warik]

Ever notice how the only way a good student can get worried about/do poorly on a project is if he is required to have other people help him?

I flat out offered to do the whole first part of the project for everyone. The professor designed the task for 3 people to do over the course of a month and I just volunteered to do it alone in exactly 1 week.

I'm confident that even if I am completely apathetic and nonchalant about doing it, we will do better than if I had help.

Is this really the future of the world? We are fucked guys.

In terms of being better than other people, I'm getting the impression that you place yourself on another level than most other individuals. Bear in mind that you are, in fact, NOT better than I am. No one is. Having said that, you wrote an extra "the" in the first phrase of the second paragraph of your post. That kind of blatant disregard for English grammar cannot go unpunished in my book mister. You are hereby reduced to homosexual status. Live with that homo.

Not to be condescending or anything, but I truly believe (and, quite frankly, know) that I am "better" than a long list of people. We can start with the homeless guy who can't afford food but can somehow afford booze and cigarettes and work our way up.

Surely you don't claim that everyone is equal, do you?

It was written to emphasize what I was trying to say. I'll fix it since you obviously cannot comprehend my superior grammatical skills. You forgot a comma before "homo" and "mister" - that makes you a homo as well, mister.

Great - they agreed to let me do practically everything. Maybe now we'll get a decent grade. *flex*

I know how that is,we had a Isu(Independant study unit) which we had to do for 60% of final mark and half of the thing was partnered. Now this pissed me off because the fucking class average was 46% and I had the highest with 89%,I just took over and did it all so I didnt fail

There is a ton of group work in the program that im in now. I hate it. Id much rather be doing the shit myself. It is part of the new bullshit liberal teaching philosophy that group work is so important and that businesses need to empower employees and all that bullshit. Its sad that students have to learn business from losers that couldnt succeed in business.
