Today I found out in my lecture who would be in my group. Now seeing as this is a new project, new start and everything I am very opened minded. But my main concern is that two of the members of my group that I have been randomly placed with did not do anything for the last project, which has started making alarm bells ring. I know that the last project was stupidly ridiculously hard but the majority of the course managed to come out with a end result, expect these two in my group. This is not to say that they have a perfectly good excuse for why they didn’t complete the last project, but it makes me think what are they going to contribute to the group when we actually start to make the project ??? Due to the spite of this I am happy with my other two members of the group who have demonstrated that they can produce high levels of good quality work and I believe that they will be a great asset to the group when it comes to the crunch time.
This also brings me to an opinion that I have drawn up of y experience at my time at university, which is that I believe the lectures should group people together who do good quality work instead of mixing with people who don’t do work with people who do, do good work, which makes them feel under pressure because they are having to catch up the people who can’t be bothered to do the work and at the end of the day the people who don’t do the work end up getting the same results for the people who stick their next out trying to actually get a degree. I know that what I am saying here could be unfair and unjust but you come to uni to work to get a degree and at the same time have a good time with a social life, not doing the latter half of what I have 24/7.
I would just like to point out that this is my own personal opinion and does not reflect anything to do with whom I have been grouped with as I don’t know them well enough to make such an opinion about them, this opinion is only to do with what I have experienced in the past and I am fully aware in the work industry that you make not like who you work with, but at the end of the day you are all there to do a job to the best of your ability.
