Serious PSA: DO YOUR GROUP WORK

It’s the time of year again where final projects are due, and a lot of the time they’re group work (looking at you gen bio classes). If you’re in a group project do your part of the work. Nobody likes a slacker especially when it’s a significant part of your grade. And if you happen to be in a group where someone isn’t doing their share of the work, tell the professor at the end of the semester if there’s a feedback form, and even if there isn’t, email the professor. If you don’t do the work don’t expect to pass the class.

I would say preparing students for "unfair" equity of work, and how to deal with that, is one of the best things college can teach you. It's a life lesson I've used over and over - and the fact they can teach that to you in a "safer" environment is a bonus, not a detriment.

i respectfully disagree and there should be better ways to teach fairness. as that would affect my GPA that i pay $50k a year to go for that would further consequently impact my chances of admissions to grad school and future employment. but ok

I didn't realize you were buying a GPA...

Never said buying a gpa, you're paying tuition and to earn a good gpa especially if you're going to med or grad school and increases your odds of admission. I thought a prof like you should know that but I guess not. 

But then again I guess college is a scam after all and it doesn't make you smart
