Abnormal Psychology
Group projects are never something I look forward to. Sure it’s fun to socailize with the people in your group, but normally you get stuck with some bum who never shows up, never has any ideas when he is there and sits there while everyone else works. We’ve all experienced that kind of group partner and I’ll never forget the time I busted a guy because I wasn’t about to let him take advantage of all the hard work I had produced.
It was in my Abnormal Psychology course back at Oakton Community College. The class was small so everyone knew this kid was lazy and good for nothing. There was no attendance rule at Oakton so I think he came to class twice (just to take the tests), that’s fine and there’s nothing wrong with that and I’m sure I would do the same thing BUT if you are paired with a group to work on a project you better make sure to pull your weight.
I was in this group with 4 other people including him and each person had to come up with a 15 minute presentation because we were working on different parts of a disorder. Well, nobody could get ahold of this guy when it came to the time we had to do the presentation. The night before I had to stress out and prepare his part of the presentation for him.
The next day he strolled in expecting us to have done his portion for him. I laughed in his face and told him to leave. I don’t like to be a nark, but that guy was bogus. He failed the course, and I’m glad. Peace out group projects.
