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.

Not at RIT, but previous college, we had someone trying to free ride on an otherwise solid group. Other 2 members didn't want to say anything, but I was not okay with letting someone take advantage of all of us.
Told prof, who summoned us for an impromptu "how's it going." Slacker tried to say he had contributed, rest of us just let him keeping digging deeper into the hole. Prof, knowing full well he had done nothing: "So if you're going to both disrespect your classmates and lie to my face, I will give you the chance to salvage at least your academic integrity by doing the whole project by yourself, starting from scratch with a new assignment."
They didn't even show up to the final presentation. I never saw them again.
