Liz Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 it all began in class. i don't know a bit about programming, but the prof. expects us to be pros at it. so he assinged us this "simple project" in which we simulate what occurs in a nuclear fuel rod and stuff. so i was "ok..." and tried to work, but i didn't understand the gibberish and the computer wasn't cooperating. so i was placed with a partner for her to help me. i might as well stayed alone. she did her own thing, didn't bother to answer my questions, and ignored me completely, which i thought was very mean. i was dependant on this other person to explain to me the BASICS!!!!! can you see me being dependant on someone else? because i can't. after a while, the girl just told me to leave if i wasn't going to help her. i felt like telling her "how do you want me to help you if you haven't explained anything!" but i decided to leave, she wasn't going to help anyways. and that sums up my uber-horrible day in class. i don't know why i'm posting this, i guess just to vent out my frustration.

Inactive Account Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I hate it when that happens. "So how do you do this? I'm confused." "If you're not helping go away." Bah. I also hate it when I have lazy project groups who expect me to do all the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 well, the most expert person was my partner, which didn't do me much good. all the others were struggling too, but they did help me a bit. we were all trying to work it out, but nobody actually finished the project. it was too difficult to be a "simple project". *hugs kiryn back* i really did need it, it made me feel better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephrion Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Bah, this is why I prefer to work alone on projects. In Applied Tech class, I would always be paired up with someone I loathed... Anyway, that really sucks. I'm sure tomorrow will be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 thats sad! join the club of frustrated people in the workplace/school It was all worked out eventually though. They didn't mind me not doing anything. I still helped though and according to the entire class, I provided awesome voice acting for the film project thingy.

Florete Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I hate group projects. Always have, always will. Either I get stuck doing all the work or the others take all the work from me and complain that I did nothing. (actually happened) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufasa Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 *Joins in on group hug.* I'm sorry Namine. I'm also a loner. I hate talking to people I don't know. I hate being in large groups of people the most. (I always feel like I'm missing out on something.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 i like working in group projects, as long as i have a clear idea of WHAT we're supposed to be doing. which i didn't. but i prefer to work alone, because i have more control over what happens to my work, and i don't have to argue for about five minutes with group members in order to do something.

Knife Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Well, I had a great day, and I love group projects. Less work. >:D Lazy butt. And yeah don't pick a bunch of lazy guys to be your partners, pick some hard working dudes. Also, don't let ChaosNinji be your partner.

Blue Knight Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'm lucky I'm in classes with people I know and work well with a.k.a. we both are realy smart and get good grades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadrach Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Namine, that really sounds like it sucked. I usually wind up with the situation being reversed though. For instance, during the last six weeks of this school year we had a graphics project in Computer Science. We had to create an interactive game on Java graphics, and my partner took that to mean he could go on the internet and spend all class playing Java games while I wrote the program.

Raven Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Group projects are utter crap. I'd rather work alone. Put me in a group with anyone, and I'm not given the chance to do anything. Although the last thing I did in a group with anyone was probably in a science class three or so years ago. *Joins in on hugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
