I was in a group doing a 'group project' when my mates decided not to do ****** at all and basically left the burden to me. I was so pissed because I had other work I really had to do yet I had to worry about this. I ended up doing the presentation in class today with them just standing there, watching; wonder why? I basically did the whole presentation because they didn't know jack ****** about our topic and only could read the damn slide. Unfotunately I didn't get to finish the citations but I believe I have a chance to turn in the hard copy tomorrow and we'll be fine.

Now, since my mates decided not to do squat, I thought I mind as well give them something to do, problem is they've tried to weasel their way out of things. I was basically so pissed afterwards especially after the fact that they didn't want to help with just the sitations (let alone the notes and PPT [10slides]) that I said if they didn't help me, I'd do the citations and I'd let the teacher know they didn't do squat.

Now, it's been an extremely painful process to convince one of my group mates that we need citations for pictures, now tell me ATOT, what do you do for citations of pictures? I've found info online but it's a bit vague, but basically my group mate thinks is that all we need is the URL and thats it, while I'm saying that he's wrong and you need to cite it like any other thing.

So, which is it, how do I do it and am I in the wrong for being irritated especially by the fact that they're still hesistant and making excuses for not doing this despite not doing squat?

peer evaluations ftw

i hate the ones where you have to have certain point spreads though, because if people all do their work someone will get shafted with these peer evals

In my MIS class I had to write a 9 page paper on open source software and make a 15 minute presentation by myself. Lazy ****** combined with no will and knowledge made for a great pain in the ass.

This is why I always do projects alone whenever there is a choice. Go talk to the professor.

I slightly mentioned it to him, and he asked if he should do anything about it, I said I didn't want to discuss it but when I get my grade back, I'll decide what course of action will be taken up my group mates.. I wanted to blackmail him by having him owe me money but it seems like he doesn't care.

Because it's rude to make fun of the mentally handicapped to their face.

don't think any of us knew you were truly handicapped (I know we somehow hoped that was the reason though) ;).
