Today was my last day and i had 2 courses.. revenue management at 11-2 and advance communications at 3-6 Since it was the last day and i had presentations i decided to dress up professionally. Anyways there was 2 presentation and 2 reports due for each class.. For the rev we werent even done and struggled at 11am while presentations were going on. As time passes i got fed up with the work and that some group member's parts was just bs. After a while i realized that it was 12:30 and i persuaded my group not to present and just do good on the written part since we're not tryin to get a scholarship with that high GPA. Anyways we printed everything and got to class at 12:40 then prof caught us standing outside deciding who goes in and hand in the report. Then he asks us " are you goin or staying" we got nervous and stayed then one member just left so it was only two of us in the class sitting down. My group member txted me saying we shoudl present even if its bs and just get the marks but i didn't want to embarass myself and kept making excuses not to present. After 2 presentation went by i just sprinted out of class. This whole project is 30% of my mark...SO SCREWED!! i better pass the class...i got a 69 on my first test and im pretty sure finals i did at least 70%. Anyways the second class there was supposivley 4 group members and we had to present a 10 min visual presentation no powerpoint. one member decided to drop out of the program last week therefore its only 3 of us. me and this girl were done our parts however this guy didn't. later the girl txt me and says shes so sik and stuff and emailed the prof about her mite not go to class. So its me and this guy who didn't finish his written part at schoool while we are finding a way to create a presentation. In the end it was almost 2 so i had to do half his written part to speed up the process. Later he had to go take his mom to the doctors therefore i was left alone 30min before class started. I cannot present something alone that is supposed to be a 4 person presentation. I talked to the prof and explained the situation and said she'll find a way to fix this. So today i was walking around in business attire on a hot day and did not even do one single presentation. I left class after one hour cause i would have been the only one not presenting. FML - i hope i pass all my courses..im not paying $500 and speding 52 hrs on a course again on the bright side 6 month no school!! well i got online courses from sept-oct =)
ouch, shame about dressin up nicely jsut for 2 presentations!! consider yourself lucky in a way that you didnt have to do the presentations.. BUT you were better off doing your rev one to get some marks as you never know you could get some good marks to it... this is like me on rev.. we all done our part but im the one that screwed up everythign at last minute but we still passed coz we did good on the written part.. at least u can have 5 months of bumming around just like meeeeeee wooooop!
I've seen a ton of BAD presentations during my years in university, but never have I seen a group puss out because they were not ready. You probably can get away with that shit in high school, but there's just no room for excuse in university. I'd say, better to look like a clown than pussying out. At least that way, the prof. knows that you guys worked on it and have something to show. By not showing up, you're basically telling the prof. to give you guys a big fat zero. The perfect example would be like doing a question that you don't know on a test: writing down something is better than leaving it blank, at least you'll get partial (or even full) credit, on most cases. And shiet.. $500 ain't a huge loss. If that's all you're losing out on, big deal! We're forking out $3,200 per 3-credit course over here.
After reading your title, I read through the rest of your post sounding like a white girl. Like, totally...

I think you should have done the presentation anyway regardless of your team members' absence. I supposed ya'll did communicate among each other in the process of finishing up your project and presentation so you should be able to do it on your own with or without them. I have been in that kind of situation before where certain team members are simply unreliable. I don't know about your situation; whether you picked your teammate or assigned and the same goes for the topics - self picked or assigned .. If you had so much trouble with the topic, you should have approached the professor for guidance or change the topic altogether. Bottom line, had you done the presentation in your suit, you'll get at least a passing grade for trying and seriousness. NO SHOW is just a big fat F or zero. Regardless of how much it worth for the class, it will affect your overall grade .. A to B to C to D to F. In the real world, even it's a team work situation; you should always stay in tune with the progress of the project; making sure everything is in order and will meet set deadlines. Plan early and ahead of the real deadlines so if something fail, you still have sometimes left to correct it. Take leadership role if you have to and push for the finished product. If given a choice, picked good team and reliable team member; even then, don't count on people too much.
is that $500 for one or two courses? cuz it sounds awfully little for two courses. either way i hope things turn out for the best for ya.
