When i see other groups in my HR module having so much fun tog and doing such a good presentation and paper, i look at my group and feel damn xian.
3 of them SU, and simply bochup. Whole group is really passive. I had to do my darnest to coordinate the group, and did most of the research paper interviews myself. It is 1 week left to our project deadline, and while some other groups have oredi finished their papers, my group havent even had a proper meeting yet! And there's no sense of urgency from them at all, guess its coz they SUed le.
Tried my best to remind them nicely, and the usual lame excuses of them having tests, assignments etc come up...pui, as if i dun have essays and deadlines myself. And even SU is not an excuse.. I rem when i SUed my past modules, i still chipped in my fair share of the work in group projects, and still tried to do well for the group, coz i take a lot of pride in my work.
This has got to be the worst group i have ever experienced in my 5 semesters in Uni..i can understand if they dunno much about singapore companies or firms (they re all non-Singaporeans), but i cannot accept people who are lazy and so passive. It really really turns me off.
And of coz, noeing the outspoken me, i made my feelings known to them, and made it clear i ll report this matter to our tutor if necessary, coz its really unfair to me. They apologized to me and all that, and promised to work harder. But looking at today's tutorial, when 2 of them never come (again), my doubts still remain.
Bottomline??
(1) Choose your group mates for any project CAREFULLY!! VERY CAREFULLY!!!
(2) Speak up if necessary. Dun take shit lying down! The worst thing to have done in my situation is to silly silly do everything and tar everything myself. Nope, hocky will not take this kind of shit. Not when i have my rights as a fellow human being and University undergraduate.
(3) Coercive Diplomacy works big time. Talk soft and carry a big stick behind you.
