Here's another example of these cases. For this particular Organic Chemistry project, we were assigned groups of 3 based on our lab benches. Well, I did all the planning and divided the work based on the individual's usually show of ability to work in the lab. I of course took the heaviest load, while I trusted most of the other work to my partner (male). That's because I wasn't so trusting of this last group member, who is this whiny middle eastern girl who apparently can speak French. Come a couple of days before due date, we weren't exactly near completion yet. It is the norm that things aren't complelely done until it needs to be, right? Add to the fact that I had two midterms in the same week to contend with. As I had expected, the whiny girl starts to complain to us even though she had no work to show. What she had to do was just find us some references, that's it. But little did I know how wretched she could be. The next day I found out that she had reported us to our lecture professor (who she's familiar with because they speak French to each other it seems?), but he wasn't directly in charge or our lab section. My guess for her move was that she wanted to be reassigned into her friend's group who were slightly ahead in their progress. Somehow, she was granted her request. It was such a low blow, to think that she was trusted to have been actually doing work and what seems to be a notion that we'd fail without her. But of course, we were all ready to go on the due date for the presentation. And luckily, our actual lab professor found out that we had no fault in this. Oh, and guess what? My friend was in the group she transfered to. He said she did squat as well, leeching off their hard work.
Me and masterjin was in this situation, we were in separate groups but with a group of 3 people. i basically had to maintain my straight 'A' grade by doing everyone's works, plus i had to do a separate 200+ page essay for them, all in all i did 4 lots of 200+ page essays (which were not allowed to be the same) and a group essay which was even larger. And i got an 'A' for me and the other 3 guys who did jack, this also brought up the grade of the 3 bums i was working with, karma doesn't exist.
what the hell master_g that is nuts.... i would have just told my professor fuck that... i wouldn't let my grade be tarnished by jerk offs like them...
