I had something similar happen in a psychology project. One guy never did his part, then turned in random Wikipedia stuff last minute. We had to fix it all ourselves. Since then, I’ve learned to split tasks early and set mini-deadlines so people can’t just vanish. If it gets really bad, I’d just get help from Ozessay they can at least save you from total disaster when your group ghosts you.
That’s rough. I’ve seen so many group assignments end like that — someone always thinks they can coast till the end. It’s weird how teachers assume teamwork builds “real-world skills,” but it mostly teaches patience and damage control. I used to take screenshots of everything just to cover my back when grading time came around. Never again if I can help it
Anyone ever had a group project totally fall apart? In my final year at uni, we had this big marketing plan to present, and one teammate disappeared halfway through the semester. We couldn’t reach her for weeks, and then she suddenly showed up the day before the deadline acting like nothing happened. I ended up rewriting half the project overnight just so we wouldn’t fail. Still can’t believe how chaotic that week was.
