so now, not only do we either a.) have to do more work or b.) rely on the work of somebody who has no vested interest in whether we succeed or not.... but chances are she had a low grade, so now the mean is raised, which means i'm less standard deviations above the mean :(

sorry, just had to vent.

oi, don't get me started... too late :)

sometimes they're cool because you meet people, but for my C class... it sucked ass. i had to do the whole freaking program myself because my partner didn't know jack, and i wasn't about to spend my time holding her hand through it. f*ck that... i aced that sucka :)

Me too. I absolutely HATE group work. Teachers seem to love it for some reason though. Nothing worse than going to the first class meeting and seeing "Group Project" on the syllabus. I just know I'm going to not like the class the minute I see that.

I did that in my Java class for the final project. My two partners knew nothing, and were too busy. I had originally coded the interface, then sent it to them to do the functionality. Well, I just knew they wouldn't figure it out, so just in case, I coded the functionality too. Then when they called me the night before it was due, all stressed because they couldn't get it to work, I just said "I did it already, we'll use mine." That saved my ass. I HATE group work!!!!!!!!

the only nice thing about working in groups is maybe u get the chance to work with a hot girl
the bad thing is this chance is greatly reduce if ur an engineering major

I have to agree with all you, however you better get used to it. When embark on your careers you will often have to function in groups and will be evaluated on the success of the group.

Think of this as foreplay for the fvcking you'll get later on.

what does it mean now that ur fewer standard deviations above the mean? is ur class a bell curve? if it is, then it doesnt make sense to have the mean raised.
