I would do double what any one person is supposed to do and then tell my teacher I've already done double work and I'm frustrated that my group won't do anything. In fact, they have invited me to do everything on an all nigher! Sorry I just can't do that please don't penalize me!

IMO group-work should be assigned along with an option for a separate individual project because it's very unfair.

Probably. Our IB teacher is fucking retarded and doesn't tell us how he's going to grade anything. I got a B last semester for no reason at all. We had 2 graded assignments that I know of (both A), and I participated in the class a shitton.

No, sleep.

just have a one on one with the teacher about how you actually did your part. The teacher can't dock you point for someone else.
Sometimes its not intentional, sometimes you just botch it.

The teacher has every right to dock me points because there's no way for me to prove that I did it.

Well, yes he can, but thats out of his control.

I say get the sleep. You've done what you could reasonably be asked to do, and if you have other things tomorrow, there's no sense screwing those up.

wow i totally understand how you feel.
Back in grade 10 i think i was in a group of 5, had a science project to do about nuclear chemistry. Everytime we met up they joked around and fucking wasted time. The night it was due i was the only guy staying up til 4 a.m finishing everything while those fags were sleeping like its none of their business. Ugh...

Anyways, that's just life. High school is filled with ppl like that. Either they dont give a shit or .. they just dont give a shit. Hopefully you learn from this experience and next time pick more reliable ppl to work with.

Ah I hated group work when I was in school. You didnt learn anything and it was a huge waste of time and only became more and more popular with the teachers every year.
Had a teacher change for unknown reasons between semesters one year and my grade got cut in half do to just silly playing around shit from the new teacher. She knew I was top but I could in no way prove it and thus, lame grade.

Damn I should not look at school related threads.
I have the best fucking lawyers in the country including the man they call the Malmis.

We don't get to choose groups. The other part of the shit. My friends and I worked together very well and both of them were in IB (same period), and we all got sent into different groups.

Yeah, I think I'm going to sleep. Physics and French are more important to me than some stupid business class anyways.

Going to your teacher and whining about your group not getting anything done isn't going to make you look much better.

The best thing you can do, is just look as competant and put together as possible during the presentation. If someone makes a mistake, correct them without making it look like you are just calling them out. Make it obvious that the group was shitty.

Or

Or you know, just chalk it up as a loss, go to the all nighter, get the project done, and realize sometimes in school, business, life, you are put in a group where you are the one who has to get stuff done.

Or

If your part is done, tell your group that, and tell them you have to study/sleep and that they have all your complete work and can do what they want with it.

or some combination of the three. To me, going to the teacher and telling him how much harder you worked isn't going to make him, your group, or even yourself happy.


edit: have you even said anything about this to your group? I can't imagine many people straight up refusing to work after they have been called out.

I already told them about what I need to do. I guess they shrugged it off.

You know what is worse? When your group members do the work...except they don't give a crap about it and just wing it.

For ex. You are in charge of doing notes for arms while other group members are assigned to do notes for other parts of the body. You do your part with diligence and have shitload of notes done while your partner "claims" they are done even though they did less than 1/10th of what you did. When you pressure them to do more, they bitch at you and go "well if you want it better, fix it yourself, because I did my part already".

That is why if the teacher allows you to pick your group members, you always pick the top students.

If you can't document what part you did then I'm not sure how this can work out for you.
Do you really want chat rooms?
