    Got my classmate to fail on purpose
  • 03
    I'm in college for a very difficult dual degree. I am also on a stipend and need good grades or I will loose my money. Since I am estranged from my family and disabled I absolutely need this money to study. My
  • 04
    current grades are my countries equivalent of a perfect A and I intend to keep it that way. This semesters final was a group project, which is already bad enough. We had to write an essay
  • 05
    about a topic of our choosing that's relevant to our field of study, create a scientific poster, give a 30 minute presentation on it and afterwards get quizzed on the topic. We had 6 weeks to finish this.
  • 06
    I landed in a group of 3 with cool guy who's engaged and puts in effort and who was lazy from day one. At the start we created a schedule and clearly divided our tasks with
  • 07
    check in days to keep track of what we're all doing. First check in day showed up late and forgot his laptop, second check in day he didn't show up at all. We needed some data he
  • 08
    was supposed to have analysed and compiled, but he kept saying he'd sent that tomorrow or he's "almost done". When he pressured him on it he finally told us that he has done absolutely nothing so far and then had the
  • 09
    audacity to tell us he won't do it either. He told me, to my face, that he doesn't care about this grade since you can fail 3 finals and still pass. He fully intended to just ride off our work and if he fails, he doesn't give a
  • 10
    either. I tried explaining to him that it's cool if he doesn't care, but it's a shared grade and him not doing any work means I fail too and if I fail I lose my stipend. His answer? "Well it's not my problem that you're broke".
  • 11
    Well. If that's how you want to play it, sure. So I sat down with cool guy to create a plan. We kept our scheduled check in days, but didn't remind day off and of course he forgot about them. We worked on the
  • 12
    entire project together, created a dope poster, just generally did. our best work and didn't tell about any of it. I did all the research and wrote dipshits part while cool guy compiled all the
  • 13
    data of our Interviews and made the poster. We planned our part of the presentation together and are very ready for the quiz portion. We also talked to our professor and showed
  • 14
    him proof of straight up refusing to work and no-showing to planned meet ups. Professor told us to mark what part of the project each person did and he'd make an exception for our
  • 15
    group and grade each person's work individually. Now it's one day before the presentation and texted the group chat, asking what he's supposed to talk about. I
  • 16
    simply wrote "as agreed before the project, everyone talks about what they wrote in the essay". then started to panic and asked what he was supposed to say since all he wrote was half a page of tily compiled date
  • 17
    that turned out to be wrong. I told him tough luck and to figure it out, he had enough time to think about that. Since he never brought his laptop to any meet ups he also has no access to the shared files and can't
  • 18
    improvise anything either. The presentation is tomorrow in front of our whole class and the professor. Watching him utterly embarrasse himself is going to be fun.
