Group projects are the worst. Let's face it, no one has ever been a part of one and had a good time… except for the people who are getting a passing grade without doing any of the work. Even then, are those people really enjoying themselves? Or are they just suffering through life like the rest of us?
I've mentioned this a few times in the past, but the most brutal experience I ever had with a group project was also at the culmination of my university experience. My final project partially consisted of being partnered with another student. I got partnered with a pre-med student who was destined for medical school and decided they had better things to be spending their time on than finishing our project together—especially since I was there to do it for them. The situation was even more extreme than I'm able to describe now, but hey, they're a cardiothoracic surgeon, and I'm here writing this. So, maybe their approach to the whole thing had some merit… What's the lesson supposed to be here? The ruthless succeed?
Anyways, when this student's project partner didn't do any work, they didn't put up with it like I did and instead exposed their partner in front of the entire school.
