Arggghhhh! I'm in a bad mood! Ever had a week where nothing goes right?
Dammit this is that week.

I have a major project due but have a partner that is worthless. He has done nothing and it's pissing me off. I know he's working a lot of hours but it's still bullshit that he's not doing his part.

With these exams and finals coming up, it's driving me nuts...

Anyone hav a partner for any sort of project (school work related, etc) that didn't pull their weight?

I'm thinkin of just telling the prof...

1. do the work and tell the prof.
Sorry to hear your partner is worthless- I've been there in orgo chem lab projects. It sucks.
Hopefully, next week will be better!

2. I empathize. However, I'm curious. Have you spoken to him about
it? If it were me, I'd be pissed, but hesitant to report him before explaining the urgency (mostly because he is working so many hours, which I'd imagine he's doing to stay in school).

3. yes--social psychology group report
there were three of us and one guy was a total zero. the third person and myself ended up writing the guy's oral report and handed him the note cards. we got an A for group presentation and then i said to the professor: "you know he didn't contribute to the research or writing the presentation, right?" and she said yes--she knew and would grade him accordingly.

i found that when someone is like that you have to take matters in your own hands and win the grade. (and learn from it--never depend on other people for your grades)
