The only legit way I can think of fixing it is to tell them to buck the fuck up. Laying it all on you isn't right. If you're not comfortable with that, email your prof. and see if you can work something out. I dunno, kinda a toughy
Hope it works out man  |
It's not that I'm afraid to confront them, but I figure if they think I'm an asshole they might just slug along and like not show up when we have to present or something. I am also human, and I want to believe that other people are inherently good and that they will shape up.
This was really the last straw for me. If I don't hear back from them tomorrow I'm going to give them a bit of hell.

First I'd talk to you Proff, especially if you didn't pick groups and were assigned, he knows that people are going to do better and worse than others. It's a tight spot to be in. Getting stressed and having a good project vs Fuck all make your part look sweet and the rest looks bad and you all fail. Not as simple as Sacrifice vs Pride. Talk to your Proff man. Baby steps. Keep working, keeo on the other members.

I have had one of my partners (the girl) and the other guy was added because he had no partner. From the beginning I knew she was going to be tough to work with. She didn't do her first project (this was an individual project), she barely shows up prepared for class, she texts all class and doesn't do the homework. She shows up for class physically, but she's mentally on facebook, or sleeping, or something.
Sorry to get off subject. After finding out about this film project I told my professor that this girl doesn't come to class prepared, doesn't take initiative, etc. He told me that we just communicate very differently and will be able to make it, and just to stick with it. I think he noticed how poor progress we were making so he added this other partner.
He's not a regular professor though. He is a bit of a Hippy, and honestly reminds me of you Sage. In other words, he's a great guy, and because I know he is very intellegent I listen to what he has to say. He looks like you too actually. I think he is trying to find the best in these other people.
But I'll certainly send him an email and talk to him about the issue. We're at a point where I need their ideas to go any further in the project, but if I don't hear from them by tomorrow I'm just going to have to decide what to do myself. It's not fair to me, this is a class I'm paying for and a grade I'm earning. I'm getting A's in all my class as far as I know, and they are not going to fuck this up for me.
