Thread: You spend upwards of 300 man hours on a project in about a week and fear failing...

So, over the first 5 week summer semester I'm taking a programming studio. This consists of taking a normal semester long course with three big, month long projects, and condensing it into 5 weeks. The same projects, just must be done much quicker. With my group, spent my past week in the lab, got most of it done, and realized I cannot trust anyone in my group to do something and test it well, as I spent at least 6 or 7 hrs on the last night fixing something that I had been told worked... Needless to say, even with all my time we may still not get a passing grade, and as this is college who cares about learning I just need to GTFO, though my opinions on that matter are for a different place/time.


Written at 6am after working for around 17 hrs straight, so deal with the bad grammar...

I have never had a group project were people were competent workers or I didnt get shafted at the presentation. Your professor should have a thing on the syllabus saying something like "If your group partners arnt doing their share of work you can report them to me explaining it all and I will lower their grade while not negatively impacting yours". Or he might say in the real world you will have to deal with shitty groups. Hopefully its option 1.

I mean, they work[ed] hard, and have decent stuff, just when I had to spend 6 or 7 hrs on something you already said you did because you didn't check to see if it actually worked I'm not happy... Luckly the professor is quite lax, and gives generally really high grades, which is all I actually care about...

Well I hope you score high marks bro. best of luck to you and your band of misfits!
