Project woes
***disclaimer: my opinion. It's
my way of venting my frustrations. You can have your own point of views but
this is just mine.
You
know how we have projects and crazy group assignments in poly? Well, it ain't
all that sweet. Whoever said Poly is fun, screw you! Poly is not slack or less
stressful as you think it is. In projects, there are a few types of
people.
- the free
rider
- the anything
anything
- all talk but
no action person
- the
do-my-part person
**
Note: obviously, there may be other types but for my post. I am just gonna talk
about these dumb fucks.
Now, let me introduce you to the "god" of all projects. Everybody
wants to be in the same group as them, everybody loves that they don't have to
do a shit and everybody thinks they are gonna get a mother fucking A because
they are with the "god". But what sucks is, this "god"
always carries the heaviest burdens. The "god" is the one who does
all the work, editing, communicating, reminding and all that shit! Without the
"god", your report will probably not even be existing. They aren't
"god" because they want to be. It's more like they are forced to.
Tell me, who the fuck would want to shoulder all these burdens and do the
whole/most of the project by themselves? Nobody!!! And if there are people like
the "god" out there, you need to get yourself checked out. Because
clearly, there is something wrong with your head.
Everybody
hates this person and never wants to be in the same group as the free rider.
Free riders don't do shit and they just get all the grades. As the name
implies, they take a free ride. No blood or sweat shed. Even with peer
evaluation, they might still get a B for the project. Like are you freaking
kidding me?
The teachers always tells us students that we have to tell them about these
people and they'll have a "talk" with them. Teachers always say what
you tell them is confidential but they will mention your names in heat of the
moment okay? Don't ever take their word. So how telling the teacher help?
Firstly, you'll be giving a knife to this free rider. They will be able to stab
you in the back at any point of time. They can pull your grades down through
peer evaluation as well. You'll be the victim of
getting-low-grades-because-i-outed-the-free-rider.
This
is the person who doesn't have a mind of their own. They simply just goes with
the flow. They are the types of people who don't contribute much to the
"brain storming" sessions and will agree with what the majority
says. They will be the ones who have read the whatsapp text message but
silently waits for someone else to reply first before they reply. Oh come on!
Grow a freaking mind of your own. I swear, there ain't a purpose of you being
in the group at all. *rolls eyes*
well,
like the name states - he/she talks big but no actions. Actions obviously speak
louder than words. Anybody can say anything but for them to actually do it,
that's another story. "i'll hand it in tomorrow" "if you
need help, let me know" "i'll do that" "i'll do that
website for you" ALL BULLSHIT! In the end, the "god" has to keep
pushing him/her to do their work and to meet the datelines. AND when they send
it to you, it's sub-standard. WHAT THE FUCK?! In the end, the "god"
has to edit all that shit!
this
person isn’t that bad. It is just the fact that they
lack initiative to help out. They'll just do what they are tasked to
do. And when they are done? Well, obviously leave it all up to the
"god" to settle it!
Show a little concern. You are part of the group and just because you have
finished your part does not mean you are finish. You should use this time to
help the other group mates and help the "god" out. If the report is
not completed on time, it is also partly the do-my-part-person fault too.
Alright. I'm done! I hate projects. Wanna know what role I play during
projects? I guess that's pretty much self explanatory. *sighI'm beat. Signing
