    real world scenario would be to outsource the work to someone else, then proofread it. woot.

    either that or go to your boss (teacher) and tell him/her that this isn't working out and the project isn't going to get done. co-workers get canned, woot.

    throw them under the bus. Do the whole project, turn it in, only put your name on the project OR put "(non-contributing member)" after their name.

    who gives a fuck if he is supposed to graduate. fuck him, throw him under the fucking bus. At least bold your name at the top and then have their names in smaller fonts, unbolded down under you.

    I have 4 midterms next week and another part of this project due on Tuesday, I really cant afford the time of doing it all myself. I also still have a perfect score in this class, they need it more than me.

    Fuck that. If you're turning it in and doing all the work, your name goes on top, bolded and they are in a reduced font (do comic sans in memory of Dan Gilbert haha)

    gotta grow them balls up.

    Group projects are sometimes great tools to help you acclimate to the real world, where most projects are done within a team. But they suck when your peers don't give a shit.

    Essentially every project/assignment we've done so far in grad school has had the option of being a group project, but I learn more (especially math/programming) when I work by myself.

    I say just ditch your group, and try to find someone else. If not, do it yourself, and tell your prof. There is no guilt or shame in fucking over you group mates if they fuck you over.

    a group member just told me via text she wouldnt be showing up today because there was a bust of a meth lab on one of her families rental properties....good times

    Take a shot of tequila before going up there. I did that, it helped whenever I had to do a big lecture.

    What kind of program are you in where they force you to do this many group projects? I had quite a few when getting my MBA, but my undergraduate and other graduate degrees were mostly solitary. My advice is to avoid classes with group projects or if you have to take them, just do the work yourself and accept the freeriders.

    For the record, your classmate is fucked. The house will be unrentable until it's either gutted or torn down and rebuilt. Oh, and insurance won't cover it.

    As an owner of rental properties, "meth lab" are two of the scariest words a landlord can ever hear.

    Throw her under the bus. Specifically mention that she was unable to attend today at the beginning of the presentation.
