my parents struggle to understand that my professors force us into group work because the future careers of those who graduate with our degree require constant group work. me and my group mate can't just say "oh, the third one didn't do her part in this assignment so we will just skip over some of the illnesses that killed millions of people and continue off with covid".
you are not individually awarded for the work you do outside of college, this assignment, as such, is not graded individually. and my parents just refuse to accept it.
my dad said "when is the professors parent teacher meeting" unironically.
THIS IS COLLEGE THERE IS NO PARENTS INVOLVED. WE ARE ALL OVER 18 YEARS OLD I WOULD RATHER SHOOT YOU AT THE ENTRANCE AND SERVE A LIFETIME IN PRISON THAN HAVE YOU HARRASS MY SWEET PROFESSOR.
yes, I am not responsible for my group mate, I am not her mom but I wish people would take group projects seriously. I'm failing this year because of my health and I still did every group assignment because the guilt would eat me alive if I was the reason why my group mates can't pass the class and take the final exam to get it over with
