Group projects

There was a reddit post complaining about how students ask the class group chat very obvious questions when the syllabus is literally a few clicks away. I’m in my last year taking advanced classes and MGT 4999, and I still don’t understand why so many students act completely helpless and lost. I feel like there has to be something contaminated in the water or the air in the buildings.

I genuinely don’t know how some people have made it through the weed out process. It’s not even about intelligence...it’s basic awareness of wtf you're supposed to do as a student.

Don't even get me started on group projects. Professors assign them and talk about how “this is how it works in the real corporate world,” but that comparison falls apart when half the group doesn’t pull their weight. In reality, accountability exists but here it doesn’t.

It’s always the same shit. People not doing anything, playing dumb, doing a deliberately poor job so someone else will redo it, or just ignoring messages entirely.

Almost everyone here is balancing work and school, which is completely valid but that doesn’t justify consistently not contributing and leaving the work to others. Most of the school is working. It’s not a unique excuse and you're not special-- so it's not someone else's problem to be doing ur shit. This isn't a charity.

There should be some kind of course or structure that actually teaches people how to communicate and manage responsibilities. But even then i don't think anything will change.
